Hi everybody, I'm the last semester student of Mechanical Engineering Department. Now, I'm trying to modelling cooling tower using porous media.
The problem is I don;t know how to create mesh in gambit to generate the model before I run it by fluent. For the information, I was modelling my cooling tower without packing, so it just only two contact fluids, saturated water and air. Anybody can help my problem? Thank you so much |

Hi
Iam trying to simulate the heat transfer through porous medium. Air enters and leaves the porous medium(porous medium-bottom wall is hot). I have created the model in GAMBIT.I have taken a big domain, have split it in to 3 regions,named the middle region as porous , while left and right of porous are fluids. If I specify the both the interfaces (left and right of porous medium)as wall in GAMBIT , 2 walls and corresponding wall shadows are formed in fluent. I have specified the fluid as air.Specified the porous medium parameters also.The case is not converging in FLUENT. If I do not specify the interface in GAMBIT, the case converges. Which method is correct? |
