Modelling Henry's Law

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I am trying to model the diffusion into two different porous regions having different phases, say phase 1 in the region 1 and phase 2 in the region 2. The diffusion at the interface between the two regions is governed by Henry's law. I have built 1D and 2D models using Assembly form. My questions is that how to model the drop in the concentartion using Henry's law? I faced no problem solving this in the 1D model as I used the integration operator to get the 'upstream' concentration which must be used to calculate the 'downstream' concentartion according to Henry's Law. The problem arose when I was trying to solve for the concentration at the interface using the 2D model. Clearly, I cannot use the integration operator in the 2D model case. I have looked into the 'Thin Diffusion Barrier' option but there was no enough explanation on it; so, I do not how to link the Henry's law to the 'Thin Diffusion Barrier' boundary (probably the cannot be linked to each other!). Any ideas and hints are highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ismail

Hi,

I have managed to resolve the problem. I used 'general extrusion' coupling and it worked nicely!

Thanks,
