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? |

So there is no air flow from from porous zone to fluid zone? Only heat?
Then you need define both the wall and the wall-shadow as coupled wall. |

Thanks for the reply.
There is flow of air from fluid zone to porous zone. If I take 2interfaces as interiors, with out heat transfer, there is flow through porous medium, and the case converges. For heat transfer case, I need to make that 2 interfaces as 2walls and 2wall shadows.Then, if I run the case, the residuals are not converging. |

Else how will it calculate Heat transfer?
If there is a fluid on one side and solid on the other side, then a wall at the interface should be given coupled wall condition to balance the transfer at the surface. If it is a wall, between two fluids, for the flow to happen, the interface should be 'interior'. For heat transfer, what should be the condition at the interface? |
