Hi everyone!

I spent a few days trying to understand how to set up with OF a case which is unsteady, incompressible and laminar flow with a porous medium, but I still have some troubles.

First of all I don't know what solver should I use:
- icoFoam? (from the user guide it seems unable to treat porosity)
- porousSimpleFoam? (it is possible to set laminar? if I put Euler in ddtSchemes does it solve unsteady?)

Second, I made my mesh in Gambit dividing the domain into 2 zones, but when I transform the mesh to OF I don't know how to specify that one of them is a porous medium and to set a Darcy law (in "cellZone" I only have
Code:
FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       regIOobject;
    location    "constant/polyMesh";
    object      cellZones;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

).

I am very confused and any help would be very appreciated..

Thank you very much!
