I specified some boundaries as a porous region. But when I try to run the simulation, I get an error. The error says " invalid fvregion".
Does anyone have any idea about the error? Thanks in advance |

I'm a little confusing about that "you set boundaries as porous region". Only the whole region can be difined as a porous region.
I guess you set the boundary as porous baffle, right? If you did that, there is a restriction that the regions between this boundary should be in the same continuum, which means they should share the same "physica". |

The problem was caused by the mesher. It was meshing both regions simultaneusly, so the second region was removed by the mesher. To solve the problem, I clicked the item Continua/Mesh and in the mesh properties I ticked the item per-region meshing. The problem was solved.
