:class:`PorousMedium`
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The porous media model supported by Flow360 is the Darcy-Forchheimer model which has two coefficients: Darcy coefficient for viscous losses and Forchheimer coefficient for inertial losses.
The model acts by adding a sink term to the momentum equations. More details about the model can be found at https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/DarcyForchheimer.
