Reply To: Water Absorption in Porous Media – Ansys Fluent

[Simo]

Good morning, 

Yes, i looked for the model in the user guide, and I've assimilated my concrete sample like a packed bed by my experimental data. The fluid still rising a lots, and seems there's no materials in porous media. I calculate the both coefficients alpha (and then 1/alpha) and C2 and i put them in the porous schedule. Maybe the problem is the hydrostatic pressure i give: to simulate that i put a slow velocity to 0.001, could be that correct? My sample is just in contact with water. No pressure applied. 

 

Thanks for the answer. 

Simone.
