the actual size of the air molecule is somewhere in range of e-10 whereas from the avogadro law ,one molecule occupies about 3.3e-9 m of length.but both of the dimensions provide erroneous results in the porous field simulation.

Vikash,

What is the density of the air in the simulation?

If it is a very low density, then choosing a particle size comparable to an 'average' molecule (~50nm) is not wrong.

If you are trying to model viscous flows (high density, high Reynolds number), then this may not be the best approach.
