Liquid Water (Porous Medium)
This subnode defines the properties for the transport of water in a porous medium filled with two phases in equilibrium: liquid water and moist air.
Liquid Water Properties
This section contains the settings for the definition of convective transport of liquid water. See
Porous Medium
for the definition of capillary transport.
The mass flux of liquid water is computed with Darcy’s law. Set the
Relative liquid water permeability
,
κ
rl
(dimensionless), that multiplies the permeability in the Darcy’s law to account for the saturation of the liquid phase.
