Flow and heat transfer in porous media

tos · June 10, 2015, 10:15

Dear all,

is there a simple method to model flow and heat transfer in a porous media where the fluid and solid phase are not in local thermal equilibrium (T_fluid and T_solid are not equal)? Ideally it should be possible to have a nonuniform porosity.
I tried to use the chtMultiRegionFoam solver together with the constantHeatTransfer and the interRegionExplicitPorositySource option in the fvOptions file but this was not possible when using a fluid and solid region.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Tos,
I’m trying the same. did you get any solution to this

Did you find a way to do that?

i am trying to modelate a pipe with fluid and porosu media obstacle. And heat transfer.

Do you knoe if exist a solver? or if i have to create one?
