Permeability Darcy's Law

July 11, 2007, 00:26

Hi friends...

Currently, I'm doing a simulation on permeability of concrete(solid). I made a simple 2-D rectangular model using Gambit (4m width x 1m height) for my concrete then i mesh it. The BC of faces is a water pressure of 4 MPa (pressure-inlet) and atmospheric pressure (pressure-outlet) subjected to one face and the other face respectively. The other faces are wall. The fluid is water.

What I need to know is: 1. how to check whether my modeling is correct or not, 2. how to determine the permeability value of my concrete.

Thanks before....

How are you modelling the concrete?
