Greetings,

I am quite new to StarCCM and I am working with flow in porous media.

One of the quantities of interest is the specific area (m2/m3) of the medium, and I was wondering if I could obtain this by dividing the total surface area of the mesh (which is already defined) by its occupied volume.

In theory this should not be quite accurate since it will not compute the solid volume, only the fluid, but still I would like to know if this is possible and easy to do just to get an idea.



Thanks in advance for any response!
