Porous media

Submitted by rasoul on Thu, 10/31/2013 - 20:51

Hi,

I want to know is it possible for me to simulate fluid flow thorough porous media?
If yes, how can I do that?

Thanks for the response in advance.

Hello rasoul,
well basically the cfdemSolverPiso for example is similar to a porous media solver. If you create a packed bed and lock the positions of the particles, the solver does nothing else than solving porous media equations. So this way might not be the easiest, but I'd say it's possible. You can of course also change a few details in the solver and adjust it exactly to your needs.
Cheers,
Alice
