The effect of electric field on the velocity of single-phase fluid flow in porous media is studied.Based on the mechanics of fluid flow and the theory of electroosmosis,the equation of single-phase fluid flow in porous media under electric field was deduced.The numerical model of finite element was presented.Single-phase fluid flow in porous media under electric field was simulated by finite element method.A good representation of the experimental result was obtained through the numerical simulation.The error between the experimental result and that of numerical simulation is about 5%.Comprehensive work is presented that investigates the effect of electric field on single-phase fluid flow in porous media.The results suggest that if the pressure is a constant,the velocity of single-phase fluid flow through the porous media could be increased with the application of electric field by 100% to 750%.
