A method for measuring fluid pressure and solid deformation profiles in uniaxial porous media flows

Flow through rigid, reactive, or deformable porous media has relevance to the dynamical behavior studied across a broad range of problems in science and engineering. Here, we describe an apparatus designed to simultaneously measure the pervadic pressure profile, fluid volume flux, and deformation in...

Description
Summary:Flow through rigid, reactive, or deformable porous media has relevance to the dynamical behavior studied across a broad range of problems in science and engineering. Here, we describe an apparatus designed to simultaneously measure the pervadic pressure profile, fluid volume flux, and deformation in an evolving poroelastic medium. We demonstrate the apparatus in measurements of flow-induced compression of a soft latex foam. The approach can be used in both rigid and reactive porous media.
