is it possible to apply soil permeability in interfoam

kcc49 · April 10, 2018, 06:56

Hello all,

currently, I am working on my dissertation work on the topic of dam-break, and I am trying to put soil permeability into the model. Is there any way that I can do that?

Thank you for your time!!

You could try using the explicitPorositySource in areas where you want to have permeability.

The explicitPorositySource is an entry in the fvOptions dictionary. The setup is explained on this website. While the important parts are in english the rest of the page is in japanese. I'd recommend using Google Translate or Google Chrome to translate the rest of the website.
