How to create porous medium

MFiX How to
#1

Hi,

I want to create porous medium region which can behave as packed bed and study the air flow through the bed.
I could find the reference from the following link but there is no detailed information about the code and how to implement in mfix.

Does anyone have an experience about this problem?

Thanks!

Porous medium model is basically a special condition of the MFIX-TFM without solving the momentum equation of the solid phase. You can turn it off by :
MOMENTUM_X_EQ(1) = .F.
MOMENTUM_Y_EQ(1) = .F.
MOMENTUM_Z_EQ(1) = .F.
