An-isotropic permeability condition- porous media

swapnil313 · October 25, 2017, 14:24

I want to import experimental data from a file. Which has x,y,z,value in a table,these values have to imported as an-isotropic permeability of the porous media.
As in permeability K(x,y,z)

x y z Value
0.1 0.2 0.5 50000
5 2 4 4010

The example data you provided is not for anisotropic permeability, but location dependent permeability. This can easily be imported by using the profile interpolation functionality

Create a file containing the data using the CFX .csv format as explained in the documentation. For example,

[Name]
My Permeability

[Spatial Fields]
x, y, z

[Data]
x, y, z, Permeability
0.1 0.2 0.5 50000
5 2 4 4010
....

In CFX-Pre, go to the Tools menu, select Initialize Profile Data, fill in the dialog and initialize the profile.

Edit the Domain for which you want to set permeability, click on the expression button to insert an CEL expression such as

MyPermeability.Permeability(x,y,z)

Done!!!

Hope the above helps,
