How can i approximate Darcy coefficient and Forchheimer coefficient?
Hi, I'm wooseok.
I'm doing some Flow analysis which included Porous media layers.(urethane foam and the leather with fine holes)
and i found Acusolve follows some formulas.
but i found i need to approximate some properties. (Darcy coefficient, Forchheimer coefficient)
I've found other ways to approximate internet information but I'm not sure if they're the right formula for our acusolve..
i think i can do Flow analysis for getting pressure drop about the leather.
and can i help for next steps? ><

Not sure how one would 'estimate' the values. Generally you'll need experimental data capturing the curve of velocity versus pressure drop across the porous medium - in your case likely the 'stack' of foam plus perforated leather
i want to replace the experiment with analysis.
I'm trying to use some formulas like this.

Yes - that page also has a velocity versus pressure drop curve (though only two data points). Not sure what you would do without that information
i will get pressure drop data from Flow analysis. with different velocity.
it will be tough but gonna make fine mesh geometry about leather layers.
Once you have velocity vs pressure drop - you can use HyperWorks CFD to determine the coefficients - as in this tutorial:

That calculator will be added to SimLab at a later date

You could find pressure drop correlations for different porous media, screens and etc from here. Handbook of hydraulic resistance: https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1220/ML12209A041.pdf
