Materials
After setting up the physics, the required material properties can be added.
Paraffin, solid
1
In the Model Builder window, under Component 1 > Materials click Paraffin, solid (mat2).
2
In the Settings window for Material, locate the Material Contents section and enter the following:
Paraffin, liquid
1
In the Model Builder window, click Paraffin, liquid.
2
In the Settings window for Material, locate the Material Contents section and in the table enter the following:
Glass Wool
1
In the Model Builder window, click Glass Wool.
2
In the Settings window for Material, locate the Material Contents section and enter the following in the table:
Porous Material 1
The Porous Material is convenient to use for setting up the material properties for a porous medium that consists of multiple components, typically a fluid and a porous matrix but also multiple solid or fluid phases can be present. In addition pellet structures can be defined and immobile fluid phases can be considered.
1
In the Model Builder window, click Porous Material 1.
2
In the Settings window for Porous Material, locate the Phase-Specific Properties section.
3
Click Add Required Phase Nodes . This automatically adds a Fluid and Solid subnode, because these are requested by the physics interfaces.
Fluid 1
1
In the Model Builder window, click the Fluid 1node under the Porous Material 1 node.
2
In the Settings window for Fluid, locate the Fluid Properties section.
3
From the Material list, choose Water, liquid (mat1).
Solid 1
1
In the Model Builder window, click Solid 1.
2
In the Settings window for Solid, locate the Solid Properties section.
3
In the θs text field, type 1-por.
4
Locate the Material Contents section. In the table, enter rho_av as value for the density under the Material Contents section.
The next step is to add the boundary conditions for each interface.
