sw-octave-01: compute_permeability: Computing effective permeability from 2d images of porous media with FEM.

Description

It is an educational code developed in Octave/Matlab to compute effective permeability from 2d images of heterogeneous porous materials, by simulating a Stokes flow in the porous media modeled with periodic boundary conditions using finite elements.

The code is described in the paper "Computing effective permeability of porous media with FEM and micro-CT: An educational approach" to be published in Fluids Journal (MDPI) which can be accessed by the special issue: Teaching and Learning of Fluid Mechanics: https://doi.org/10.3390/fluids5010016
