colloidal particles embedded
in the porous medium.
(Algorithm designed for
arbitrarily complex pore
structures.)
2. FEM simulation of low-
Reynolds number flow
3. Nodal computational of
forces on attached particles
(both viscous and pressure
forces).

Conclusion
• Complex Geometry of a Porous Material Significantly influences the Flow Fields
• Flow Channeling, Unexpected Stagnation
Regions, etc., occur. • Direct Numerical Simulations Provide
Detailed Insight into Flow Behavior in Complex Geometries: Random Packs, Real Porous Media
• Colloidal Retention, Blockage Effect, etc., can be Observed and Explained at Streamline-Scale Level.
