adi.ptb is on a distinguished road
hi guys,im simulating a 2D transient problem,i have 9 different faces,i need to simulate 3 of these faces as a porous media using thermal non equilibrium model,and im using fluent6.3.26 and ansys fluent 15.0,fluent15 support the ltne model but its so heavy and slow,but fluent 6.3 is 2 times faster than fluent 15,my problem will take 17 days to reach the periodic state with fluent 6.3 (so 34 days with fluent 15.0),so i want to use fluent6.3 in order to reduce the time,going to the details of my problem i have to say that my porous solids are copper and steel and my working fluid is helium,and my solid walls are also copper and steel in non-porous zones,i have written some udf's and uds's to model the ltne in porous zones,but i dont know how to implement my codes,(specially the solid source term and solid diffusivity),i wonder if someone would help me,here is my code:
