Numerical Model of a Dead-end Pore

This is a two-dimensional axisymmetric model of water flowing down an idealized (cylindrical) channel and encountering an idealized dead-end pore (rapid expansion).  The dark blue shows the significantly slower movement in the dead-end pore; although, there is some motion in the form of a recirculation eddy.  This is to better model different dynamics built on previous work reported in Water Resources Research.
