| Abstract | Flow characteristics of water through porous media of wide ranges of grain sizes were studied experimentally. The relationship between friction factor and Reynolds number for uniform porous media developed by DINOY (1971) was verified with experimental data. This relationship for uniform porous media was presented with a third parameter equal to the ratio of particle mean diameter to the square root of permeability representing the roughness coefficient of the porous medium. A limited study was conducted with non-uniform porous media. Three non-uniform media of 0.5 and one non-uniform medium of 1.0 coefficient of variance of grain diameter were used. It was observed that for the same coefficient of variance of grain diameter, different porous media had different relationship. |
