Moisture Flux
Use this node to add moisture flux across exterior boundaries. A positive moisture flux adds moisture to the domain.
Moisture Flux
Click to select the General moisture flux (the default) or Convective moisture flux button.
General Moisture Flux
It adds g0 to the total flux across the selected boundaries. Enter a positive value for g0 to represent a moisture flux that enters the domain.
Convective Moisture Flux
Enter a value for the Moisture transfer coefficient β. In addition, two options are available to specify the external conditions:
If Relative humidity is selected (the default), set the External relative humidity, φext and the External temperature, Text (used for the computation of the vapor saturation pressure). For User defined, enter values or expressions. Else, select an Ambient relative humidity and an Ambient temperature defined in the Ambient Settings section of a Heat Transfer or Heat Transfer in Shells interface. Convective moisture flux is defined by g0 = β(φextpsat(Text)  φpsat(T)).
If Partial vapor pressure is selected, enter an External partial vapor pressure, pv,ext. Convective moisture flux is defined by g0 = β(pv,ext  φpsat(T)).
