The Heat and Moisture Flow Interfaces
The Heat and Moisture Flow interfaces (
) combine all features from the Heat Transfer in Moist Air, Moisture Transport in Air, and Single-Phase Flow interfaces. Three multiphysics couplings — Heat and Moisture Flow, Nonisothermal Flow, and Moisture Flow — are also automatically added.
The Heat and Moisture Flow interfaces (
) are used to compute the temperature and relative humidity distribution in air along with the velocity and pressure fields. This multiphysics coupling is available for laminar flow, turbulent flow, and flow in porous media (Brinkman equation):

The Laminar Flow interface
The Laminar Flow interface (
) uses the laminar version of the Single-Phase Flow interface to compute the velocity and the pressure inside the fluid domain. It is suitable for a laminar flow regime.

for details.
The Turbulent Flow Interfaces
The Turbulent Flow interfaces (
) uses a version of the Single-Phase Flow interface with a turbulence model to compute the velocity and the pressure inside the fluid domain. Several turbulence models are available, with different levels of accuracy and computational costs. These interfaces are suitable for a turbulent flow regime.

The Porous Media Flow Interface
The Porous Media Flow interfaces (
) uses a Brinkman Equations interface to compute the velocity and the pressure inside the fluid domain. It is suitable for a flow in a porous medium.
