Abstract

A computer simulation model is used to study the density profile and flow of a miscible gaseous fluid mixture consisting of differing constituent masses (m(A) = m(B)/3) through an open matrix. The density profile is found to decay with the height proportional to exp(-m(A(B))h), consistent with the barometric height law. The flux density shows a power-law increase proportional to (p(c) - p)(a) with mu similar or equal to 2.3 at the porosity 1 - p above the pore percolation threshold 1 - p(c).
