I'm working on modeling of porous media. I have two domains porous and fluid in the model. What’s boundary condition is proper in fluid-porous interface?

Hi Rooholla,

Have you been able to solve your prob?

I am working on a similar proj involving 2 porous domains, and was wondering how to give an interface BC?

Thanks.

Maybe you could upload an example file, containing your problem.

My first guess would be the conservation of mass: Flux_left = Flux_right. I myself have a porous electrode bordering a gas channel. I've described both with the same PDE and altered the transport parameter in each domain:

Gas channel: Total velocity = some value; Diffusion coefficient = 0 --> Convection only
Electrode: Total velocity = 0; Diffusion coefficient = some value ---> Diffusion only

By the nature of the PDE, conservation is fulfilled.

Yes, in comsol 4.0 there is a continuity boundary condition available under pairs, which takes care of the pressure and mass flux as you indicated to be continuous acorss the interface.

However, when I try to use this, I am unable to select the boundary.

Thanks.
