The Moisture Flow Interfaces
The Moisture Flow interfaces (
) combine all features from the Moisture Transport in Air and Single-Phase Flow interfaces. The Moisture Flow multiphysics coupling is automatically added. It couples the moisture transfer and fluid flow interfaces. The fluid properties may depend on vapor concentration. Models can also include moisture transport in building materials. The physics interface supports low Mach numbers (typically less than 0.3). Similarly to Conjugate Heat Transfer coupling, the moisture transport interface can be coupled with one of the turbulent flow interface.
If a module providing the Brinkman Equation interface is available, the Porous Media Flow coupling is also available. It couples moisture transport in porous media and fluid flow by Brinkman equations.

The Laminar Flow Interface
The Laminar Flow interface (
) couples the moisture transport in air with the fluid flow when the flow regime is laminar. This interface can be used either for a free flow or a flow in porous media.
See
The Moisture Flow, Laminar Flow and Turbulent Flow Multiphysics Interfaces
for details.
The Turbulent Flow Interfaces
The Turbulent Flow interfaces (
) couple the moisture transport in air with the fluid flow when the flow regime is turbulent. It comes in several versions with different turbulence models.

The Moisture Flow, Laminar Flow and Turbulent Flow Multiphysics Interfaces
for details.
The Porous Media Flow Interface
The Porous Media Flow interface (
) couples the moisture transport in air with the fluid flow. A Brinkman Equation interface is used to resolve the velocity and pressure fields in the porous media.
