Abstract
⺠We present a unified understanding of the effect of microstructure on the macroscopic permeability of fibrous media. ⺠Based on hydraulic diameter concept, the permeability is expressed in the general form of the Carman-Kozeny equation. ⺠The finite element (FE) results show that the CK factor depends on the porosity and pore structure. ⺠These results can be utilized for validation of advanced, coarse-grained models for particle-fluid interactions.
