When using the non-equilibrium porous model, how should I specify an energy source to the solid side? Will Ansys Fluent adjust for porosity, or is this assumed to be accounted for?
When Ansys Fluent receives and energy source for a porous medium in W/m^3, it is assumed that this energy input is based on the ENTIRE volume of the solid zone.
So, if your porous solid zone is 1 m^3, and your solids will deliver 1000W in total if your source term is set to 1000 W/m^3. Ansys Fluent makes no porosity adjustment to this entry, so the returned source will be 1000 W.
