Basics : Porous Media flow — Welcome to LS-DYNA Examples

Home » Knowledge Base » ICFD / Incompressible CFD » Basics Examples » Basics : Porous Media flow

This LS-DYNA simulation shows a simple ICFD isotropic porous media flow input deck. Compared to the original cylinder flow, the cylinder now represents a porous media through which flow is allowed to flow albeit slowly. Several porous media models are available, the one used in this example is the Ergun correlation.
