Hi, I am modelling a low Reynolds release of gas through sintered plate (microporous media) which is then combusted. The plate is approximated as surface with mass flow inlet boundary condition. I use Eddy breakup + k-epsilon standard.
I think you need to evaluate the dissipation rate at the boundary. My evaluation example is very formalistic, because turbulent exchange does not exist here:
Eps = k3/2 / le , where k-turbulent kinetic energy (5-10% of mean kinetic energy), le- scale size for pores.
I think the effective viscosity will be near molecular value at the boundary.
