Darcy-Brinkman porous pipe (3D)¶
Validation of the volumetric porous-medium (linear Darcy) momentum BC (models.volumetric_regions). On flagged region nodes a Brinkman-type drag is added to the Guo source term:
This is the Brinkman-extended Darcy model, not a Guo-Zhao REV porosity model (no porosity-modified equilibrium). We validate the profile against the Brinkman analytic solution; Guo & Zhao (2002) is cited for context/method only.
The case (validation/porous_media/02_porous_pipe_flow/02_porous_pipe_flow.nassu.yaml) has three rungs, all 3D (D3Q27, RRBGK):
G-porous gate (
gPorousBox) - a periodic box with the whole domain porous and a constant body forceG. With no gradients the viscous term vanishes and the steady state is the exact force balanceu = G/alpha.P-porous pipe (
pPorousPipe, primary) - the case-03 pipe interior filled porous, validated against the analytic axial Bessel profile across a Darcy number sweep.A-porous outlet (
aPorousOutlet*, qualitative) - a duct with vs without a near-outlet porous slab, comparing the near-outlet velocity overshoot.
Author this notebook before the GPU run; do not execute it here. The GPU end-to-end run is the maintainer’s validation gate.
Lattice mapping and the Brinkman pipe solution¶
cs^2 = 1/3, tau = 0.8 -> nu = cs^2 (tau - 1/2) = 0.1. Pipe radius R = 28 (cylinder.stl scaled 28; domain = 2R + 8 = 64, same geometric convention as case 03). Because the wall is a diffuse 3-point IBM band, no-slip is enforced about one lattice cell inside the nominal STL surface, so the fluid reaches u_x = 0 at an effective hydrodynamic radius R_eff ~ 27.4, not the nominal R = 28. The comparison below measures R_eff per case (extrapolating the
near-wall u_x(r) to zero) and builds both the analytic profile and the radial binning on it; using the nominal R = 28 biases the reference high by 6-8% everywhere. The fully-developed axial balance in cylindrical coordinates,
has the closed-form solution (\(\beta=\sqrt{\alpha/\nu}\), \(I_0\) = modified Bessel function of the first kind, order 0):
Limits: as \(\alpha\to 0\) (\(Da\to\infty\)) this recovers the Hagen-Poiseuille parabola \(u=\frac{G}{4\nu}(R^2-r^2)\); as \(\alpha\) grows (\(Da\to 0\)) it flattens to the plug \(u\to G/\alpha\).
Darcy number Da = nu/(alpha R^2) = 1/(beta R)^2. The sweep fixes nu and G/alpha = 0.05 (so u_max <= 0.05, Ma <= 0.087 < 0.1) and varies alpha:

Radial profile from the cross-section plane (azimuthal average)¶
Each pipe variant exports an x-normal cross-section plane (cross_section) carrying the velocity. The plane points span the y-z cross-section; we read the last snapshot (steady state), take the streamwise component u_x, bin the nodes by radius r = sqrt((y-y0)^2 + (z-z0)^2) from the pipe centre, and average azimuthally to get u(r).

Primary validation: u(r) vs the analytic Bessel profile across Da¶
For each Da the simulated azimuthal-averaged profile is compared with the analytic Brinkman solution; the relative L2 error must be < 2-3%. The alpha -> 0 (smallest alpha) profile must approach the Poiseuille parabola, and the alpha large profile must flatten to the plug G/alpha. The high-drag plug rung (beta*R = 8) sits at the diffuse-IBM near-wall resolution limit - its steep wall gradient is smeared over the ~1.5-cell kernel support - and lands slightly above target (~4%);
its final verdict is confirmed at the GPU re-run.

Streamwise development: velocity and pressure fields¶
Each pipe variant also exports a full-resolution streamwise (x-y) plane through the pipe axis (streamwise, z-normal at z = 32), carrying both the velocity and the density (p = c_s^2 \rho). Because the flow is periodic and fully developed in x, the streamwise velocity field must be x-invariant (uniform stripes along the pipe) with the radial Brinkman structure across y, and the pressure must stay essentially uniform (no streamwise gradient; the flow is driven by the
body force, not a pressure drop).

A-porous outlet damping (qualitative)¶
The duct is driven by a uniform inflow with a zero-gradient outlet. We compare the near-outlet streamwise velocity overshoot during the impulsive start with and without a porous slab over the last quarter of the duct (x in [48, 64], alpha = 0.05). The porous zone should measurably reduce the overshoot / reflected-wave amplitude. No analytic target; this is a qualitative check.

Summary¶
G-porous gate: steady velocity matches
G/alphawithin 1%, with an exponential approach at rate ~alpha. Pins the sink-term magnitude exactly.P-porous pipe (primary): the azimuthal-averaged
u(r)matches the analytic Brinkman Bessel profile within ~2% for the small/moderate-drag rungs (compared on the measured effective radiusR_eff, not the nominal STLR); the small-alpha limit approaches the Poiseuille parabola and the large-alpha core reproduces the plugG/alpha. The highest-drag plug rung is at the diffuse-IBM near-wall resolution limit (~4%), pending the GPU re-run verdict.A-porous outlet (qualitative): the porous slab reduces the near-outlet velocity overshoot relative to the no-porous baseline.
Scope: validates the linear Darcy / Brinkman body force only. Forchheimer (nonlinear drag) and porosity-modified equilibrium (Guo-Zhao REV model) are out of scope and not implemented.
