fluent中多孔介质设置问题

fluent多孔介质孔隙率FLUENT多孔介质是一个非常有用的数值模拟工具，因为它可以模拟各种多孔介质的过程。

其中，孔隙率是一个非常重要的参数，因为它可以影响多孔介质的物理和化学性质以及与周围环境的相互作用。

在本文中，我们将探讨FLUENT多孔介质中的孔隙率参数，帮助您更好地理解与其相关的内容。

步骤1：什么是孔隙率？孔隙率是指一个多孔介质中孔隙的总体积与样品总体积的比值。

可以用以下公式表示：φ = Vp / Vt × 100%其中，φ表示孔隙率，Vp表示孔隙的总体积，Vt表示样品的总体积。

步骤2：FLUENT多孔介质中的孔隙率参数在FLUENT中，我们可以使用两种方式来设置孔隙率参数：松散介质模型和实体多孔介质模型。

松散介质模型是一种将多孔介质视为连续介质的模型，其中孔隙率可以通过设置固体和流体的体积分数来确定。

在这种模型中，流体和固体的性质可以根据材料库选择或手动输入来确定。

实体多孔介质模型是一种将真实多孔介质视为离散孔隙和固体组成的模型。

在这种模型中，我们可以通过设置多孔介质的几何形状和孔隙率来模拟多孔介质的过程。

如果知道多孔介质的孔隙率，则可以手动输入。

如果不知道孔隙率，则可以使用体积渗透率来计算它。

步骤3：FLUENT多孔介质模拟中的应用FLUENT多孔介质模拟可以应用于许多领域，如环境保护，油藏开发，地下水资源管理等。

例如，在地下水资源管理中，孔隙率是一个非常重要的参数，因为它可以反映地下水含量和通透性。

使用FLUENT 多孔介质模拟可以确定地下水流量和渗透性，从而更好地管理我们的水资源。

类似的，FLUENT多孔介质也可以在油藏开发中估计原油储藏量和溢油模拟中模拟油污运移等。

总结FLUENT多孔介质模拟是一种非常强大的工具，可以帮助我们更好地理解多孔介质的物理和化学性质，以及与周围环境的相互作用。

孔隙率作为这个模拟过程中的一个重要参数，可以影响多孔介质的特性和FLUENT多孔介质模拟的精度。

Fluent自带了一个多孔介质的例子，catalytic_converter.cas，是一个汽车尾气催化还原装置，其中绿色部分为催化剂部分其他设置就不说了，只说说与多孔介质有关的设置。

在建立模型时，必须将多孔介质单独划分为一个区域，然后才可以在设置边界条件时将这个区域设置为多孔介质。

1、在zone中选中该区域，在type中选中fluid，点set来到设置面板。

2、在Fluid面板中，选中Porous zone选项，如果忽略多孔区域对湍流的影响，选中Laminar zone。

3、首先是速度方向的设置，在2d中，在direction-1 vector中填入速度方向，在3d中，在direction-1 vector和direction-2 vector中填入速度方向，余下的未填方向，可以根据principal axis得到。

另外也可以用Update From Plane Tool来得到这两个量。

4、填入粘性阻力系数和惯性阻力系数，这两个系数可以通过经验公式得到。

在catalytic_converter.cas中可以看到x方向的阻力系数都比其他两个方向的阻力系数小1000倍，说明x方向是主要的压力降方向，其他两个方向不流通，压力降无限大。

（经验公式可以看帮助文件，其中有详细的介绍）。

随后的Power Law Model 中两个系数是另一种描述压力降的经验模型，一般不使用，可以保留缺省值0。

5、最后是Fluid Porosity，这个值只在模型选择了Physical Velocity 时才起作用，一般对计算没有影响，这个值要小于1。

补充：这个值在计算热传导时也起作用。

下面是改变一些参数后的比较。

1、速度方向的改变：原case：1、0、0 和0、1、0 y=0截面的速度矢量图修正case：-0.7366537、0.06852359、0.6727893 和0.6694272、-0.06727878、0.7398248 y＝0速度矢量图2、修改Porosity值为0.5 原case，y＝0截面修正case，y＝0截面：修正case，且打开solver面板中的Physical Velocity选项：最后比较一下有多孔介质和无多孔介质对流场的影响。

fluent中多孔介质模型的设置7.19.6 User Inputs for Porous MediaWhen you are modeling a porous region, the only additional inputs for the problem setup are as follows. Optional inputs are indicated as such.1. Define the porous zone.2. Define the porous velocity formulation. (optional)3. Identify the fluid material flowing through the porous medium.4. Enable reactions for the porous zone, if appropriate, and select the reaction mechanism.5. Enable the Relative Velocity Resistance Formulation. By default, this option is already enabled and takes the moving porous media into consideration (as described in Section 7.19.6).6. Set the viscous resistance coefficients ( in Equation7.19-1,or in Equation 7.19-2) and the inertial resistance coefficients ( in Equation 7.19-1, or in Equation 7.19-2), and define the direction vectors for which they apply. Alternatively, specify the coefficients for the power-law model.7. Specify the porosity of the porous medium.8. Select the material contained in the porous medium (required only for models that include heat transfer). Note that the specific heat capacity, , for the selected material in the porous zone can only be entered as a constant value.9. Set the volumetric heat generation rate in the solid portion of the porous medium (or any other sources, such as mass or momentum). (optional) 10. Set any fixed values for solution variables in the fluid region (optional).11. Suppress the turbulent viscosity in the porous region, if appropriate.12. Specify the rotation axis and/or zone motion, if relevant.Methods for determining the resistance coefficients and/or permeability are presented below. If you choose to use the power-law approximation of the porous-media momentum source term, you will enter thecoefficients and in Equation 7.19-3 instead of the resistance coefficients and flow direction.You will set all parameters for the porous medium inthe Fluid panel (Figure 7.19.1), which is opened from the Boundary Conditions panel (as described in Section 7.1.4).Figure 7.19.1: The Fluid Panel for a Porous Zone Defining the Porous ZoneAs mentioned in Section 7.1, a porous zone is modeled as a special type of fluid zone. To indicate that the fluid zone is a porous region, enablethe Porous Zone option in the Fluid panel. The panel will expand to show the porous media inputs (as shown in Figure7.19.1).Defining the Porous Velocity FormulationThe Solver panel contains a Porous Formulation region where you can instruct FLUENT to use either a superficial or physical velocity in the porous medium simulation. By default, the velocity is set to SuperficialVelocity. For details about using the Physical Velocity formulation, see Section 7.19.7.Defining the Fluid Passing Through the Porous MediumTo define the fluid that passes through the porous medium, select the appropriate fluid in the Material Name drop-down list in the Fluid panel. If you want to check or modify the properties of the selected material, you can click Edit... to open the Material panel; this panel contains just the properties of the selected material, not the full contents of thestandard Materials panel.If you are modeling species transport or multiphase flow,the Material Name list will not appear in the Fluid panel. Forspecies calculations, the mixture material for all fluid/porous zones will be the material you specified in the SpeciesModel panel. For multiphase flows, the materials are specified when you define the phases, as described in Section 23.10.3. Enabling Reactions in a Porous ZoneIf you are modeling species transport with reactions, you can enable reactions in a porous zone by turning on the Reaction option inthe Fluid panel and selecting a mechanism in the ReactionMechanism drop-down list.If your mechanism contains wall surface reactions, you will also need to specify a value for the Surface-to-Volume Ratio. Thisvalue is the surface area of the pore walls per unit volume ( ), and can be thought of as a measure of catalyst loading. With this value, FLUENT can calculate the total surface area on which the reaction takes place in each cell bymultiplying by the volume of the cell. See Section 14.1.4 for detailsabout defining reaction mechanisms. See Section 14.2for details about wall surface reactions.Including the Relative Velocity Resistance FormulationPrior to FLUENT 6.3, cases with moving reference frames used the absolute velocities in the source calculations for inertial and viscous resistance. This approach has been enhanced so that relative velocities are used for the porous source calculations (Section 7.19.2). Using the Relative Velocity Resistance Formulation option (turned on by default) allows you to better predict the source terms for cases involving moving meshes or moving reference frames (MRF). This option works well in cases withnon-moving and moving porous media. Note that FLUENT will use the appropriate velocities (relative or absolute), depending on your case setup. Defining the Viscous and Inertial Resistance CoefficientsThe viscous and inertial resistance coefficients are both defined in the same manner. The basic approach for defining the coefficients using a Cartesian coordinate system is to define one direction vector in 2D or two direction vectors in 3D, and then specify the viscous and/or inertial resistance coefficients in each direction. In 2D, the second direction, which is not explicitly defined, is normal to the plane defined by the specified direction vector and the direction vector. In 3D, the third direction is normal to the plane defined by the two specified direction vectors. For a 3D problem, the second direction must be normal to the first. If you fail to specify two normal directions, the solver will ensure that they are normal by ignoring any component of the second direction that is in the first direction. You should therefore be certain that the first direction is correctly specified. You can also define the viscous and/or inertial resistance coefficients in each direction using a user-defined function (UDF). The user-defined options become available in the corresponding drop-down list when the UDF has been created and loaded into FLUENT. Note that the coefficients defined in the UDF must utilize the DEFINE_PROFILE macro. For moreinformation on creating and using user-defined function, see the separate UDF Manual.If you are modeling axisymmetric swirling flows, you can specify an additional direction component for the viscous and/or inertial resistance coefficients. This direction component is always tangential to the other two specified directions. This option is available for both density-based and pressure-based solvers.In 3D, it is also possible to define the coefficients using a conical (or cylindrical) coordinate system, as described below.Note that the viscous and inertial resistance coefficients aregenerally based on the superficial velocity of the fluid in the porous media.The procedure for defining resistance coefficients is as follows:1. Define the direction vectors.To use a Cartesian coordinate system, simply specify the Direction-1 Vector and, for 3D, the Direction-2 Vector. The unspecifieddirection will be determined as described above. These directionvectors correspond to the principle axes of the porous media.For some problems in which the principal axes of the porous mediumare not aligned with the coordinate axes of the domain, you may notknow a priori the direction vectors of the porous medium. In suchcases, the plane tool in 3D (or the line tool in 2D) can help you todetermine these direction vectors.(a) "Snap'' the plane tool (or the line tool) onto the boundary of theporous region. (Follow the instructions inSection 27.6.1 or 27.5.1 for initializing the tool to a position on anexisting surface.)(b) Rotate the axes of the tool appropriately until they are alignedwith the porous medium.(c) Once the axes are aligned, click on the Update From PlaneTool or Update From Line Tool button inthe Fluid panel. FLUENT will automatically set the Direction-1Vector to the direction of the red arrow of the tool, and (in 3D)the Direction-2 Vector to the direction of the green arrow.To use a conical coordinate system (e.g., for an annular, conical filter element), follow the steps below. This option is available only in 3D cases.(a) Turn on the Conical option.(b) Specify the Cone Axis Vector and Point on Cone Axis. Thecone axis is specified as being in the direction of the Cone AxisVector (unit vector), and passing through the Point on Cone Axis.The cone axis may or may not pass through the origin of thecoordinate system.(c) Set the Cone Half Angle (the angle between the cone's axis andits surface, shown in Figure 7.19.2). To use a cylindrical coordinate system, set the Cone Half Angle to 0.Figure 7.19.2: Cone Half AngleFor some problems in which the axis of the conical filter element is not aligned with the coordinate axes of the domain, you may notknow a priori the direction vector of the cone axis and coordinates ofa point on the cone axis. In such cases, the plane tool can help you todetermine the cone axis vector and point coordinates. One method is as follows:(a) Select a boundary zone of the conical filter element that isnormal to the cone axis vector in the drop-down list next to the Snap to Zone button.(b) Click on the Snap to Zone button. FLUENT will automatically"snap'' the plane tool onto the boundary. It will also set the Cone Axis Vector and the Point on Cone Axis. (Note that you will still have to set the Cone Half Angle yourself.)An alternate method is as follows:(a) "Snap'' the plane tool onto the boundary of the porous region.(Follow the instructions in Section 27.6.1 for initializing the tool to a position on an existing surface.)(b) Rotate and translate the axes of the tool appropriately until thered arrow of the tool is pointing in the direction of the cone axisvector and the origin of the tool is on the cone axis.(c) Once the axes and origin of the tool are aligned, click onthe Update From Plane Tool button inthe Fluid panel. FLUENT will automatically set the Cone AxisVector and the Point on Cone Axis. (Note that you will still have toset the Cone Half Angle yourself.)2. Under Viscous Resistance, specify the viscous resistancecoefficient in each direction.Under Inertial Resistance, specify the inertial resistance coefficient in each direction. (You will need to scroll down with the scroll bar to view these inputs.)For porous media cases containing highly anisotropic inertial resistances, enable Alternative Formulation under Inertial Resistance.The Alternative Formulation option provides better stability to the calculation when your porous medium is anisotropic. The pressure loss through the medium depends on the magnitude of the velocity vector ofthe i th component in the medium. Using the formulation ofEquation 7.19-6 yields the expression below:(7.19-10) Whether or not you use the Alternative Formulation option depends on how well you can fit your experimentally determined pressure drop data to the FLUENT model. For example, if the flow through the medium is aligned with the grid in your FLUENT model, then it will not make a difference whether or not you use the formulation.For more infomation about simulations involving highly anisotropic porous media, see Section 7.19.8.Note that the alternative formulation is compatible only with the pressure-based solver.If you are using the Conical specification method, Direction-1 is the cone axis direction, Direction-2 is the normal to the cone surface (radial ( )direction for a cylinder), and Direction-3 is the circumferential ( ) direction.In 3D there are three possible categories of coefficients, and in 2D there are two:In the isotropic case, the resistance coefficients in all directions are the same (e.g., a sponge). For an isotropic case, you must explicitlyset the resistance coefficients in each direction to the same value.When (in 3D) the coefficients in two directions are the same and those in the third direction are different or (in 2D) the coefficients inthe two directions are different, you must be careful to specify thecoefficients properly for each direction. For example, if you had aporous region consisting of cylindrical straws with small holes inthem positioned parallel to the flow direction, the flow would passeasily through the straws, but the flow in the other two directions(through the small holes) would be very little. If you had a plane offlat plates perpendicular to the flow direction, the flow would notpass through them at all; it would instead move in the other twodirections.In 3D the third possible case is one in which all three coefficients are different. For example, if the porous region consisted of a plane ofirregularly-spaced objects (e.g., pins), the movement of flow between the blockages would be different in each direction. You wouldtherefore need to specify different coefficients in each direction. Methods for deriving viscous and inertial loss coefficients are described in the sections that follow.Deriving Porous Media Inputs Based on Superficial Velocity, Using a Known Pressure LossWhen you use the porous media model, you must keep in mind that the porous cells in FLUENT are 100% open, and that the values that you specify for and/or must be based on this assumption. Suppose, however, that you know how the pressure drop varies with the velocity through the actual device, which is only partially open to flow. The following exercise is designed to show you how to compute a valuefor which is appropriate for the FLUENT model.Consider a perforated plate which has 25% area open to flow. The pressure drop through the plate is known to be 0.5 times the dynamic head in the plate. The loss factor, , defined as(7.19-11)is therefore 0.5, based on the actual fluid velocity in the plate, i.e., the velocity through the 25% open area. To compute an appropriate valuefor , note that in the FLUENT model:1. The velocity through the perforated plate assumes that the plate is 100% open.2. The loss coefficient must be converted into dynamic head loss per unit length of the porous region.Noting item 1, the first step is to compute an adjusted loss factor, , which would be based on the velocity of a 100% open area:(7.19-12) or, noting that for the same flow rate, ,(7.19-13)The adjusted loss factor has a value of 8. Noting item 2, you must now convert this into a loss coefficient per unit thickness of the perforated plate. Assume that the plate has a thickness of 1.0 mm (10 m). The inertial loss factor would then be(7.19-14)Note that, for anisotropic media, this information must be computed for each of the 2 (or 3) coordinate directions.Using the Ergun Equation to Derive Porous Media Inputs for a Packed BedAs a second example, consider the modeling of a packed bed. In turbulent flows, packed beds are modeled using both a permeability and an inertial loss coefficient. One technique for deriving the appropriate constants involves the use of the Ergun equation [ 98], a semi-empirical correlation applicable over a wide range of Reynolds numbers and for many types of packing:(7.19-15)When modeling laminar flow through a packed bed, the second term in the above equation may be dropped, resulting in the Blake-Kozenyequation [ 98]:(7.19-16) In these equations, is the viscosity, is the mean particlediameter, is the bed depth, and is the void fraction, defined as the volume of voids divided by the volume of the packed bed region. Comparing Equations 7.19-4 and 7.19-6 with 7.19-15, the permeability and inertial loss coefficient in each component direction may be identified as(7.19-17) and(7.19-18) Using an Empirical Equation to Derive Porous Media Inputs for Turbulent Flow Through a Perforated PlateAs a third example we will take the equation of Van Winkle et al. [ 279, 339] and show how porous media inputs can be calculated for pressure loss through a perforated plate with square-edged holes.The expression, which is claimed by the authors to apply for turbulent flow through square-edged holes on an equilateral triangular spacing, is(7.19-19) where= mass flow rate through the plate= the free area or total area of the holes= the area of the plate (solid and holes)= a coefficient that has been tabulated for various Reynolds-numberrangesand for various= the ratio of hole diameter to plate thicknessfor and for the coefficient takes a value of approximately 0.98, where the Reynolds number is based on hole diameter and velocity in the holes.Rearranging Equation 7.19-19, making use of the relationship(7.19-20)and dividing by the plate thickness, , we obtain(7.19-21)where is the superficial velocity (not the velocity in the holes). Comparing with Equation 7.19-6 it is seen that, for the direction normal to the plate, the constant can be calculated from(7.19-22)Using Tabulated Data to Derive Porous Media Inputs for Laminar Flow Through a Fibrous MatConsider the problem of laminar flow through a mat or filter pad which is made up of randomly-oriented fibers of glass wool. As an alternative to the Blake-Kozeny equation (Equation 7.19-16) we might choose to employ tabulated experimental data. Such data is available for many types offiber [ 158].fraction of dimensionless permeability of glass woolwhere and is the fiber diameter. , for use inEquation 7.19-4, is easily computed for a given fiber diameter and volume fraction.Deriving the Porous Coefficients Based on Experimental Pressure and Velocity DataExperimental data that is available in the form of pressure drop against velocity through the porous component, can be extrapolated to determine the coefficients for the porous media. To effect a pressure drop across a porous medium of thickness, , the coefficients of the porous media are determined in the manner described below.If the experimental data is:then an curve can be plotted to create a trendline through these points yielding the following equationwhere is the pressure drop and is the velocity.Note that a simplified version of the momentum equation, relating the pressure drop to the source term, can be expressed as (7.19-24)or(7.19-25)Hence, comparing Equation 7.19-23 to Equation 7.19-2, yields the following curve coefficients:(7.19-26)with kg/m , and a porous media thickness, , assumed to be 1m in this example, the inertial resistance factor, .Likewise,with , the viscous inertial resistancefactor,. Note that this same technique can be applied to the porous jump boundary condition. Similar to the case of the porous media, you have to take into account the thickness of the medium . Yourexperimental data can be plotted in ancurve, yielding an equation that is equivalent to Equation 7.22-1. From there, you can determine the permeability and the pressure jumpcoefficient .Using the Power-Law ModelIf you choose to use the power-law approximation of the porous-media momentum source term (Equation 7.19-3), the only inputs required are the coefficients and . Under Power Law Model in the Fluid panel, enter the values for C0 and C1. Note that the power-law model can be used in conjunction with the Darcy and inertia models.C0 must be in SI units, consistent with the value of C1.Defining PorosityTo define the porosity, scroll down below the resistance inputs inthe Fluid panel, and set the Porosity under Fluid Porosity .You can also define the porosity using a user-defined function (UDF). The user-defined option becomes available in the corresponding drop-down list when the UDF has been created and loaded into FLUENT. Note that the porosity defined in the UDF must utilize the DEFINE_PROFILE macro. For more information on creating and using user-defined function, see the separate UDF Manual.The porosity, , is the volume fraction of fluid within the porous region (i.e., the open volume fraction of the medium). The porosity is used in the prediction of heat transfer in the medium, as described in Section 7.19.3, and in the time-derivative term in the scalar transport equations for unsteady flow, as described in Section 7.19.5. It also impacts the calculation of reaction source terms and body forces in the medium. These sources will be proportional to the fluid volume in the medium. If you want to represent the medium as completely open (no effect of the solid medium), you should set the porosity equal to 1.0 (the default). When the porosity is equal to 1.0, the solid portion of the medium will have no impact on heat transfer or thermal/reaction source terms in the medium.Defining the Porous MaterialIf you choose to model heat transfer in the porous medium, you must specify the material contained in the porous medium.To define the material contained in the porous medium, scroll down below the resistance inputs in the Fluid panel, and select the appropriate solid in the Solid Material Name drop-down list under Fluid Porosity. If you want to check or modify the properties of the selected material, you canclick Edit... to open the Material panel; this panel contains just the properties of the selected material, not the full contents of thestandard Materials panel. In the Material panel, you can define thenon-isotropic thermal conductivity of the porous material using auser-defined function (UDF). The user-defined option becomes available in the corresponding drop-down list when the UDF has been created and loaded into FLUENT. Note that the non-isotropic thermal conductivity defined in the UDF must utilize the DEFINE_PROPERTY macro. For more information on creating and using user-defined function, see the separate UDF Manual.Defining SourcesIf you want to include effects of the heat generated by the porous medium in the energy equation, enable the Source Terms option and set anon-zero Energy source. The solver will compute the heat generated by the porous region by multiplying this value by the total volume of the cells comprising the porous zone. You may also define sources of mass, momentum, turbulence, species, or other scalar quantities, as described in Section 7.28.Defining Fixed ValuesIf you want to fix the value of one or more variables in the fluid region of the zone, rather than computing them during the calculation, you can do so by enabling the Fixed Values option. See Section 7.27 for details. Suppressing the Turbulent Viscosity in the Porous RegionAs discussed in Section 7.19.4, turbulence will be computed in the porous region just as in the bulk fluid flow. If you are using one of the turbulence models (with the exception of the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) Model), and you want the turbulence generation to be zero in the porous zone, turn on the Laminar Zone option in the Fluid panel. Refer to Section 7.17.1 for more information about suppressing turbulence generation.Specifying the Rotation Axis and Defining Zone MotionInputs for the rotation axis and zone motion are the same as for a standard fluid zone. See Section 7.17.1 for details.。

ANSYS Fluent多孔介质模型简介
多孔介质是指内部含有众多空隙的固体材料，如土壤、煤炭、木材、过滤器、催化床等。

若采用详细的模型结构及网格划分处理，则会因为过多的网格数目而使计算量非常大，不能满足工程上的实际需求，而多孔介质模型实质上是将多孔介质区域结合了以经验假设为主的流动阻力，即动量源项。

图1、多孔介质模型的应用
ANSYS Fluent中可将所需区域设定为多孔介质模型（见图2），在cell zone conditions中勾选porous zone（通常认为在多孔介质模型内由于阻力原因，流动状况为层流，故而同时勾选laminar zone）。

在其界面中，可设置方向、粘性阻力系数、惯性阻力系数以及孔隙率等参数。

其中粘性阻力系数及惯性阻力系数可通过多种方式确定其具体数值，如试验法（风速及压降的曲线拟合）、Ergun方程法、经验方程法等等。

图2、ANSYS Fluent中多孔介质模型的设置界面通过一个简单的仿真案例进行描述：一个用于汽车尾气净化的催化剂装置，其中类似蜂窝结构的区域可认为是多孔区域模型（见图3）。

在ANSYS Fluent中设置求解器、材料、多孔区域、边界条件等，初始化后进行仿真计算（多孔介质问题的初始化应采用standard initialization，见图4）。

结构后处理中可得到结构内部的速度场、压力场结果（见图5）

用名义速度定义多孔介质1)on fluid model turn on porous zone to set the select zone to be porous2)定义多孔介质速度公式:在Solver（求解器）面板中有一个Porous Formulation（多孔公式）区可以确定在多孔介质区域上使用名义速度或物理速度。

缺省设置为名义速度3)定义流过多孔介质的流体;在Material Name（材料名称）中选择所需的流体名称即可。

If you are modeling species transportor multiphase flow, the Material Name list will not appear in the Fluid panel.For species calculations, the mixturematerial for all fluid/porous zones will be the material you specified in the Species Model panel. For multiphase flows,the materials are specified when you define the phases,4. 在多孔区域上设置化学反应:如果化学反应中包括表面反应，则需要设定Surface to V olume Ratio（面体比）。

面体比是多孔介质单位体积上拥有的表面积，因此可以作为催化反应强度的度量。

根据这个参数，FLUENT 可以计算出体积单元上总的表面积。

5. 定义粘性和惯性阻力系数粘性和惯性阻力系数的定义方式是相同的。

在直角坐标系中定义阻力系数的办法是：在二维问题中定义一个方向矢量，或在三维问题中定义两个方向矢量，然后再在每个方向上定义粘性和惯性阻力系数。

在二维计算中的第二个方向，即没有被显式定义的那个方向，是与被定义的方向矢量相垂直的方向。

FLUENT多孔介质数值模拟设置多孔介质条件多孔介质模型可以应用于很多问题，如通过充满介质的流动、通过过滤纸、穿孔圆盘、流量分配器以及管道堆的流动。

当你使用这一模型时，你就定义了一个具有多孔介质的单元区域，而且流动的压力损失由多孔介质的动量方程中所输入的内容来决定。

通过介质的热传导问题也可以得到描述，它服从介质和流体流动之间的热平衡假设，具体内容可以参考多孔介质中能量方程的处理一节。

多孔介质的一维化简模型，被称为多孔跳跃，可用于模拟具有已知速度/压降特征的薄膜。

多孔跳跃模型应用于表面区域而不是单元区域，并且在尽可能的情况下被使用（而不是完全的多孔介质模型），这是因为它具有更好的鲁棒性，并具有更好的收敛性。

详细内容请参阅多孔跳跃边界条件。

多孔介质模型的限制如下面各节所述，多孔介质模型结合模型区域所具有的阻力的经验公式被定义为“多孔”。

事实上多孔介质不过是在动量方程中具有了附加的动量损失而已。

因此，下面模型的限制就可以很容易的理解了。

流体通过介质时不会加速，因为事实上出现的体积的阻塞并没有在模型中出现。

这对于过渡流是有很大的影响的，因为它意味着FLUENT不会正确的描述通过介质的过渡时间。

多孔介质对于湍流的影响只是近似的。

详细内容可以参阅湍流多孔介质的处理一节。

多孔介质的动量方程多孔介质的动量方程具有附加的动量源项。

源项由两部分组成，一部分是粘性损失项 (Darcy)，另一个是内部损失项：其中S_i是i向(x, y, or z)动量源项，D和C是规定的矩阵。

在多孔介质单元中，动量损失对于压力梯度有贡献，压降和流体速度（或速度方阵）成比例。

对于简单的均匀多孔介质：其中a是渗透性，C_2时内部阻力因子，简单的指定D和C分别为对角阵1/a 和C_2其它项为零。

FLUENT还允许模拟的源项为速度的幂率：其中C_0和C_1为自定义经验系数。

注意：在幂律模型中，压降是各向同性的，C_0的单位为国际标准单位。

多孔介质的Darcy定律通过多孔介质的层流流动中，压降和速度成比例，常数C_2可以考虑为零。

FLUENT多孔介质数值模拟设置C=对于不同D/t的不同雷诺数范围被列成不同的表的系数A_p=圆盘的面积（固体和洞)如果你选择在多孔介质中模拟热传导，你必须指定多孔介质中的材料以及多孔性。

要定义多孔介质的材料，向下拉流体面板中阻力输入底下的滚动条，然后在多孔热传导的固体材料下拉列表中选中适当的固体。

另一个处理收敛性差的要领是临时取消多孔介质模型（在流体面板中关闭多孔区域）然后获取一个不受多孔区域影响的初始流场。

取消多孔区域后，FLUEＮT会将多孔区域处理为流体区域并按响应的流体区域来计算。

一旦获取了初始解，或者计算很容易收敛，你就可以激活多孔模型继续计算包罗多孔区域的流场（对于大阻力多孔介质不保举使用该要领）。

这些变量会在后处理面板的变量选择下拉菜谱制定类别中出现。

然后在多孔热传导下设定多孔性。

多孔性f是多孔介质中流体的体积分数（即介质的开放体积分数）。

多孔性用于介质中的热传导预测，处理要领请参阅多孔介质能量方程的处理一节。

它还对介质中的反应源项和体力的计算有影响。

这个源项和介质中流体的体积成比例。

如果你想要模拟完全开放的介质（固体介质没有影响），你应该设定多孔性为1.0。

当多孔性为1.0时，介质的固体部门对于热传导和（或）热源项/反应源项没有影响。

注意：多孔性永远不会影响介质中的流体速率，这已经在多孔介质的动量方程一节中介绍了。

不管你将多孔性设定为何值，，FLUEＮT所预测的速率都是介质中的外貌速率。

对于多孔介质动量源项（多孔介质动量方程中的方程5），如果你使用幂律模型近似，你只要在流体面板的幂律模型中输入系数C_0和C_1就可以了。

如果C_0或C_1为非零值，解算器会忽略面板中除了多孔介质幂律模型之外的所有输入。

定义源项一般说来，在模拟多孔介质时，你可以使用标准的解算步骤以及解参数的设置。

然而你会发现如果多孔区域在流动方向上压降至关大（比如：渗透性a很低或者内部因数C_2很大）的话，解的收敛速率就会变慢。

一、Fluent 软件简介
Fluent 是一款国际上流行的商用计算流体动力学（CFD）软件包，广泛应用于航空航天、汽车设计、石油天然气和涡轮机设计等领域。

它具有丰富的物理模型、先进的数值方法和强大的前后处理功能，在美国的市场占有率达到 60%。

二、多孔跳跃模型的定义与设置
多孔跳跃模型是一种描述流体在多孔介质中流动的现象的模型。

在Fluent 中，并不直接支持设置多孔系数，而是通过设置多孔介质模型的相关参数来实现多孔跳跃模型的模拟。

三、多孔介质模型的参数设置
在 Fluent 中设置多孔介质模型，需要定义多孔介质包含的材料属性和多孔性，设定多孔区域的固体部分的体积热生成速度，可选择性地限制多孔区域的湍流粘性，以及指定旋转轴和/或区域运动等。

四、具体设置步骤
1.定义多孔介质包含的材料属性和多孔性。

2.设定多孔区域的固体部分的体积热生成速度（或任何其它源项，如质量、动量）。

3.如果合适的话，限制多孔区域的湍流粘性。

4.如果相关的话，指定旋转轴和/或区域运动。

五、模型应用案例
Fluent 中的多孔跳跃模型在许多实际应用中都有广泛的应用，例如在航空航天、汽车设计、石油天然气和涡轮机设计等领域。
