Hi,

CFX Post gives the following variables as output: Velocity, Velocity u, Velocity v and Velocity w.
What do these velocity components mean when they pertain to porous medium? Do they mean true velocities or superficial velocities?
It seems like these may be true velocities but I am not sure.

Thanks!

they represent true velocities if you set the porous membrane to "true velocity"
