hi,, i am modelling a flow in vertical annulus with porous media, with centrally placed heater and flow inlet and outlet conditions. it is surrounded by insulation. boundary conditions given are velocity inlet , volumetric heat generation and out flow. i am getting a reversed flow and there is no temperature rise in the annulus.

help me.....

hi

Check your operationg conditions..(Gravity) and try changing BC for velocity use direction and magnitude option.

good luck

i gave velocity inlet and outflow condition, volumetric heat generation from heater and remaining side adiabatic.. i am using boussinesq approximation....

Change your outlet BC to outflow. and let us know about your results.

if i use air instead of water ..temperatures r rising upto 100 deg. for water its not lik that. volumetric heat generation is 300000 w/m^3.


also pls tell me how to model a porous medium....
