Porous media like screens and filters, filter beds, packed beds, etc. can be modeled using commercial CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) codes like FLUENT, STAR CD, and CFX. These codes can be used to model pressure drops through the porous media and predict their performance. The pressure change over the thin porous medium is defined as a combination of Darcy’s Law and an additional inertial loss term.
