Detailed numerical scheme for solving turbulence in porous media with the Boundary Element Method (BEM) is presented. The volume and time averaged Navier-Stokes equations are used as a fluid flow model in porous media and the macroscopic k-e model as a turbulence model. The extended BEM, also known as Boundary Domain Integral Method is used to solve the obtained set of partial differential equations, which solves the velocity-vorticity formulation of the governing equations. Some initial examples of numerical computations are presented.

3D numerical simulation of convective flow in porous media using an algorithm based on a combination of single domain and subdomain boundary element method is presented. The fluid flow in porous media is modeled with the modified macroscopic Navier-Stokes equations, coupled with the energy and species equations. The velocity-vorticity formulation is adopted, which results in decoupling the computational scheme into a kinematic and kinetic computational parts. Heat and mass flux through the cavity and flow fields are analyzed, focusing on the 3D nature of the phenomena.
