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.
