Abstract
This study explores the suitability of quasi-static pore-network modeling for simulating the transport of hydrogen in networks with box-shaped pores and square cylinder throats. The dynamic pore-network modeling results are compared with quasi-static pore-network modeling, and a good agreement is observed when the simulations reach steady-state, for a capillary number of Nc≤10−7. This finding suggests that the quasi-static approach can be used as a reliable and efficient method for studying hydrogen transport in similar networks.
