Akter Hossain

Dear Dr. Khaled Al-Farhany,

According to my limited experience with COMSOL 3.5a, I have noticed that the "COMSOL Multiphysics" is a very flexible and powerful Commercial Software where USERS are allowed to incorporate different of "Modelling Units" into one PLATFORM.

Since COMSOL has the "Darcy's Law" based module for porous media flow, I believe that you are also allowed to add the "Energy Transport" with it. If you can do it successfully, then it will cover your whole interest i.e., "Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in Porous Media".

However, I believe that the current version of COMSOL may have more flexibility! So, I would like to recommend you to check the "THEORY & USER MANUAL OF COMSOL" for further details regarding your problem, which will be very helpful for your work.

Dear Dr Akter Hossain ,

I am very thankful for your intervention and advice.

I agree with you and I will go deeply using COMSOL

Dear Khaled,

The document attached below illustrates some hints for modelling of heat and fluid flow in porous media.

Dear Muneer,

Thanks for reply.

I already use it but most of researcher not use the options of fluid flow in porous media...why???
