Transient two-dimensional flow in porous media

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6790461· OSTI ID:6790461

The transient flow of an isothermal ideal gas from the cavity formed by an underground nuclear explosion is investigated. A two-dimensional finite element method is used in analyzing the gas flow. Numerical results of the pressure distribution are obtained for both the stemming column and the surrounding porous media.
