Hello,<\/p>\n

I am trying to simulate particle transport in a filter (filter fouling) and I used Porous Media in Fluent to simulate fluid flow. <\/p>\n

The geometry has 3 zones-feed zone, membrane zone, and permeate zone. Fluent generates shadow walls associated to the interface between these zones. My issue is that apparently particles cannot deposit on the shadow walls, although I set "Trap" boundary condition for them! Particles cross the porous media and reach permeate zone, which is wrong! <\/p>\n

Has anybody worked on this before? If so, would you let me know what the solution is? <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
