Hello everyone, I used the non thermal equilibrium porous model to model fluid flow through a porous media in fluent. Can anyone help me with how to view the contours of the second coincident zone that is created by fluent? I have tried doing it even in post CFD but I just can’t. I have seen some literature where the same model has been used in fluent and they have been able to view the temperature contours of the both zones.

Hello,

Could you please share the screenshots of mesh, and the setup you are using in the Fluent?

Hello,

I have attached some images as requested. I created the zone named 'porous zone', after choosing 'non equilibrium' in cell zones, fluent created another zone named "porous zone:003". The model has a gas inlet and gas outlet. The inlet temperature is 100 degrees and the porous zone:003 has a fixed temperature of 1500 degrees. I want to view the temperature contours of the two zones separately.

Hello,

Try to create iso-surface of mesh on the solid and fluid zones separately in Fluent itself. Let me know if this works.

Hello,

Thank you for your response. I have tried creating the iso-surface but it can not be displayed and  it says in the console that the surface currently has no facets and will not be displayed.

You first need to create a separate zones of solid and fluid and then create an iso-surface of the domains. Or one more method is, to create an imprint of the required surface and then import it in the Fluent. You can then plot the contour on the imprint.
