| Abstract | Flow characteristics of water through artificial non-uniform porous media, of wide ranges of coefficient of variance of grain diameter was studied experimentally. The experiments were conducted to obtain the friction factor and Reynolds number relationship, in which the characteristic length in both parameters was the square root of the permeability~ It was concluded that the empirical equation f = l/Rk + C, can fit for different porous media having different coefficient of variance of grain diameter. However, the value of roughness coefficient and coefficient of variance of grain diameter showed some correlation with the porous media constant. It appeared to have trends relating to the value of porous media constant and roughness coefficient, which was similar to the behaviour of uniform porous media. |
