You can potentially model the membrane in your water treatment scheme using the porous media option available in Ansys Fluent, but with some limitations. Here's a breakdown:
Porous Media Approach:
- This approach treats the membrane as a resistance to flow based on its physical properties like porosity and permeability.
- You can define the membrane properties in the "Material" section of Fluent and assign them to a cell zone representing the membrane.
- Fluent will then calculate the flow of water through the membrane based on pressure and temperature differences across it.
