Creating Interfaces

All regions in STAR-CCM+ require the creation of interfaces between them that will allow transfer of the appropriate quantities of mass and energy calculated during the simulation. For this example, we will need to create two interfaces between the fluid and porous regions.

Open the Fluid > Boundaries and Porous > Boundaries nodes

Ctrl-click to select the two nodes named Upstream Interface

Right-click on one of them and select Create Interface > In-place

A new in-place boundary will be created.

The mesh import should have already included the interface for the two boundary nodes named Downstream Interface. If not, do the same for these.

Open the Interfaces node and check that it contains two interfaces, called In-place 1 and In-place 2.

Save the simulation.
