Applying Boundary conditions for non-equilibrium thermal model in porous zo

      Hi

      I have a simple 2d square domain with heat flux at the bottom, when I activate the non-equilibrium thermal model in porose media in fluent, it creates a new solid zone coincides with the fluid zone, and as a result of that it creates new walls at the boundaries of the domain, for example, I will be having two walls at the bottom, one for fluid and a new one for the solid (porous zone) which mean two walls at the bottom boundary, the question is where should I apply heat flux, or in other words how I should apply heat flux at the bottom so the total heat flux be 4000 w/m^-2. to a fluid wall or solid porous wall or do I still need to do another step?

      Thanks for helping

      It's not quite that simple. The two walls don't see one another, so you need to decide which wall to heat by how much.

      As a comment (and skirting the edge of where I can't say anything), which heat transfer mechanism do you think will dominate?
