In this work we show the application of Sailfish to the study of fluid dynamics in porous media.
\nSailfish is an open-source software based on the lattice-Boltzmann method. This application of
\ncomputational fluid dynamics is of particular interest to the oil and gas industry and the subject
\ncould be a starting point for an undergraduate or graduate student in physics or engineering. We
\nbuilt artificial samples of porous media with different porosities and used Sailfish to simulate the
\nfluid flow through them in order to calculate their permeability and tortuosity. We also present a
\nsimple way to obtain the specific superficial area of porous media using Python libraries. To
\ncontextualise these concepts, we analyse the applicability of the Kozeny\u2013Carman equation, which is a
\nwell-known permeability\u2013porosity relation, to our artificial samples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
