Because I gave a hard time imagining 10 Pa pressure fluctuations cause a 10 cm/s speed in a packed bed. I am modelling combustion in porous media and it is very sensitive to velocity: $u=0.05$ m/s and $u=0.25$ m/s can yeild quite different results. And accoring to Darcy's law it seems that velocities would fluctate randomly in those value ranges because it is a matter of a few Pa fluctuations in pressure.
In that case, when is Darcy's law ever applicible for gas flow anyway? I mean, if even with a perssure difference of 10 Pa it is already unreasonable..
I have all the flow characteristics as a solution in FLUENT. Integration can also be done numericaly. But,say, when I integrate he shear forces should I take only the components parallel to the flow direction at the inlet, or all of the components?
