Defining a sink term for membrane separation

zobekenobe · January 23, 2020, 09:57

Does anyone know the sink term that could be used for a membrane separation?

I have setup a membrane channel with the solute concentration defined as UDS and set the membrane boundary as an impermeable wall.

However I am unable to define suitable sink term or suitable method for permeation (removal) of the solute from the channel domain.

any help much appreciated

Hi

Are you looking for a physical formulation for separation term or do you have a formulation and you want help with its implementation?
