This is an exemplary fluid flow through 64x64 random blocks porous media made in order to reproduce J.S. Andrade results on intertial flows in porous media (PRL, 2009). Unfortunately, after I spend half a year on it (doing in the meanwhile of other projects) I didn't succeed yet to reproduce their results. One possible explanation is that I use the Lattice Boltzmann Method - which is different from the SIMPLE- like algorithm used by Fluent that was used in the original paper.
Anyway, the fight is not finished yet.
