Reply To: heat flux at interface of porous media and wall in LTNE model

Hello Apologies for the delayed response to this one. To do what you want, it is best to start with a non-conformal mesh (without share topology). Once you load the mesh into Ansys Fluent, you will need to carefully identify the face zones corresponding to the Fluid, the spatially coincident solid, and the adjacent solid. To obtain the three zones, you may need some mesh manipulation operations (these can be found as TUIs under /mesh/modify-zones/ . Once you have these three faces, you should be able to 'Manually' create mesh interfaces. These interfaces should help you obtain the final set of conditions you wish to model. I'd suggest that you take a simple test problem (simple pipe flow with a solid wall) and test this method on this. Once you are confident that it is working as intended, then please feel free to employ this on your problem. Please note that it would require carefully identifying the face zones. Please use the 'Adjacency' panel for this.
I hope this helps.
