Modelling vapor through a porous membrane (dsmc solver)

Sabby · May 15, 2018, 06:05

Hi Foamers,
Is it possible to simulate the vapor through a hydrophobic porous membrane in OpenFoam using dsmc solver ?
If so , how can I do it? Any indications ? ( I'm new with openfoam)
Thank you.

Hi Sabrine,

I guess you have the geometry of your porous membrane (or can build it)? And you want
to include that certain molecules cannot go through the membrane?

Or do you want to have one wall acting as an barrier which either reflects impinging molecules or lets them through?

Could you describe the model you want to use more detailed?
