Dear Mahmoud,

as virtually every component in Dumux the thermal conductivity constitutive law 
is exchangeable.
The default for the OnePNI model is “ThermalConduvitivityAverage" (here 
https://git.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/dumux-repositories/dumux/-/blob/master/dumux/material/fluidmatrixinteractions/1p/thermalconductivityaverage.hh
 
<https://git.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/dumux-repositories/dumux/-/blob/master/dumux/material/fluidmatrixinteractions/1p/thermalconductivityaverage.hh>)
which computes lambdaEffective = lambdaSolid*(1-porosity) + lambdaFluid*porosity
so yes a porosity-weighted average.

You can exchange it for some other constitutive law by implementing a class 
with the same interface
and set it as the Property “ThermalConductivityModel”.

Best wishes,
Timo
