In many flows, there is more than one fluid present in the domain
Different substances (eg oil & water, or methane & air)
Different phases of same substance (water & steam)
The key
y issue is how these two fluids are mixed
If they are mixed at a molecular level, the problem is a multi-species flow.
A common example is where two gases are present (methane and air)
A diffusivityy (material
(
property)
p p y ) is set for the mixture,, and one extra transport
p
equation is solved for the mass fraction of primary component.
If the mixing is more macroscopic, then it is a multiphase flow.
In such cases there is an identifiable boundary between the two phases
The user must therefore indicate to the solver how this boundary performs
maybe a free surface (VOF model), or a typical droplet size (mixture model)

Reacting Flows

So far we have assumed that whatever materials are entering the domain
are the same as those leaving the domain.
However in some cases the materials entering will react with each other to
form new p
products (CO2 , H2O , NO
Ox etc))
By defining the reaction chemistry and kinetics, FLUENT can compute the
chemical reaction
reaction.
Within the flow domain, we have already seen how the solver can compute the
species concentration and temperature.
This can then be combined with knowledge of the reaction to form new species
in the model, with a corresponding transfer of energy.

Surface Reactions
Some reactions occur just on the wall surface (for example, in a vehicles
catalytic converter).
Chemical species deposited onto surfaces are treated as distinct from the
same chemical species in the gas.
Site balance equation is solved for every surface-adsorbed (or site)
species.
species
Detailed surface reaction mechanisms can be considered (any number of
reaction steps and any number of gas-phases or/and site species).
Surface chemistry mechanism in Surface CHEMKIN format can be imported into
FLUENT.
Surface reaction can occur at a wall or in porous media.
Different surface reaction mechanisms can be specified on different surfaces.

Like the MRF model, the domain is divided into moving and stationary zones,
separated by non-conformal interfaces.

Governing equations have a new moving mesh form, and are solved in the
stationary reference frame for absolute quantities (see Appendix for more
details).
Moving reference frame formulation is NOT used here (i.e. no additional accelerations
acting as sources terms in the momentum equations).
Equations are a special case of the general moving/deforming mesh formulation.

FLUENT can take mesh motion one step further, and modify the mesh in
the solver at every time step so as to resolve larger motions (that would be
impossible to account for with sliding meshes or MRF

Particles can exchange heat, mass, and momentum with the continuous gas phase.
Each trajectory represents a group of particles, all with the same initial conditions.
DPM neglects collisions and other inter-particle interactions.
Turbulent dispersion of particles can be modeled using either stochastic tracking (the most common
method) or a particle cloud model.

The Eulerian multiphase model is a multi-fluid model. This means that all phases
are assumed to exist simultaneously.
Conservation equations for each phase contain single-phase terms (pressure gradient,
thermal conduction etc.))
Conservation equations also contain interfacial terms (drag, lift, mass transfer, etc.).
