Analyzing Porous Structures on the Microscopic Scale
Application ID: 85371
Modeling flow through realistic porous structures is difficult due to the complexity of the structure itself. Often, resolving the flow field in detail is not feasible; therefore, a macroscopic description of the pore scale structure, which utilize averaged quantities such as porosity and permeability, is used to ease the modeling of porous domains. This example analyzes the flow field at the pore scale. The results are then used to validate and adapt the macroscopic description of the continuum, which in turn is used to model large-scale porous geometries.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® and
- either the バッテリデザインモジュール, CFDモジュール, 化学反応工学モジュール, 腐食解析モジュール, 電気化学モジュール, 電気めっきモジュール, 燃料電池&電解槽モジュール, マイクロフルイディクスモジュール, ポリマー流れモジュール, 多孔質媒体流れモジュール, or 地下水流モジュール
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the 製品仕様一覧 and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
