Hi All, In a CFD-DEM simulation, I want to set confinement above the particles. To this end, ideally, I want to create a DEM wall that can still allow gas to flow out. Do you have any ideas for how to achieve this? Thank you very much.

[image] Semi-Permeable Plane MFiX Is that you want to let the gas leave the domain, while prevent the solid particles exit from the PO? If so, you can do it alternatively by adding a keyword: bc_po_apply_to_des(2)= .false. [bc_po_apply_to_des] [bc_po_apply_to_des2]

Thanks very much for this. It is exactly what I am looking for.

Hi Gaoxi, Is there a way to do the same thing in TFM please? I’m trying to confine particles in my fluidized bed (the green area) but allow air to flow from left to right. Thanks, Jack [image]

See the previous post: [image] How to create porous medium How to 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 abo…

Thank you very much Gaoxi! It worked like magic. I actually just found your other post minutes before your replied to me. Jack
