Porous baffles within Simcenter STAR-CCM+
Welcome to the first Volupe blog post of this year, this week we will look deeper into porous baffles. A porous baffle is a lumped model used to model and simulate flow through a thin porous geometry, for example a perforated plate, porous membrane or a wire screen. A porous baffle is two dimensional (no thickness) which means that neither the geometry nor the flow inside the thin porous geometry is resolved. By setting appropriate porous baffle …
