Ansys Fluent adds contributions due to mass transfer only to the momentum, species, and energy equations. No source term is added for other scalars such as turbulence or user-defined scalars.
Let be the mass transfer rate per unit volume from the species of phase to the species of phase . In case a particular phase does not have a mixture material associated with it, the mass transfer will be with the bulk phase.
For VOF or mixture models, there is no momentum source.
For the Eulerian model, the momentum source in a cell for phase is
(14–571) |
and for phase is
(14–572) |
For all multiphase models, the following energy sources are added.
The energy source in a cell for phase is
(14–573) |
and for phase is
(14–574) |
where and are the formation enthalpies of species of phase and species of phase , respectively. The difference between and is the latent heat.
