creating a porous zone in fluent??

djn · July 8, 2014, 05:09

Hi,

I read a thread where I found Adapt>Region is used to patch certain cells in a multiphase model with volume fraction of secondary phase... Similarly can I define some area in my flow regime to act as porous zone... without creating surfaces or splitting of Faces in mesh stage???? I actually want to impose a viscous resistance on some part of my flow regime which needs porous zone for its inclusion

Please help,

I used DEFINE_PROFILE to define the porosity.. But In multiphase geometry can't we specify the Inertial Resistance in cell zone condition??

Hello,

I want to simulate water flow through porous media and I need to tracK water surface too. Do you have any idea about what will be appropriate solution methods and turbulence model for this simulation using VOF?

I am also looking for some tutorials about VOF in porous media.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Tanjina
