What is Closure statements on the Brinkman-Forchheimer-extended Darcy model about?
There appears to be a change of position on several issues by Nield. We reiterate our points in response to his. (a) Frankly, we see little difference between Nield's statement (a) and "Nield (1991) mentions that if the variable porosities are not accounted for, then use of the Brinkman equation leads to no benefit," especially in light of the conflicting comments on the Brinkman extension made by Nield previously. Nevertheless, it is good to see that Nield is now in agreement with the use of the Brinkman extension, the position which we have invariably held. (b) Our point is not that Nield is wrong. We said his statement can be misleading since it gives an incorrect impression. In some cases, the Brinkman extension could be used without limiting the porosity to higher than 0.6 (c) It does not matter where we have placed our argument. Our point is that his "ideal medium" is by no means a regular porous medium and, as such, the subsequent remarks aren't relevant.
