Dear all,
I want to simulate a cylindrical vessel in which some part of the cross section is a demister pad with a thickness of 15 cm. I believe the best thing to handle the demister pad is to model it as porous media. Do you agree or disagree?

If you agree, I have a question regarding the boundary conditions of the porous media. I have three volumes following each other, the one at the middle being porous media. What should I do for the boundary conditions of the porous media? For the contact surface of porous-non porous volumes, should I define wall, interior, porous jump, etc. ?

I feel that this is a very basic question, this is the first time I am trying to model porous media and official Fluent tutorials are not helpful. Actually they are never helpful

Thanks.
