Convection and Diffusion
Use the Convection and Diffusion node to define the fluid properties, velocity, diffusion coefficient, and dispersion model. This node as present by default.
Fluid Properties
The default Density ρ (SI unit: kg/m3) uses the value From material. For User defined enter a different value or expression.
The default Dynamic viscosity μ (SI unit: Pa·s) uses the value From material and describes the relationship between the shear rate and the shear stresses in a fluid. Intuitively, water and air have a low viscosity, and substances often described as thick, such as oil, have a higher viscosity.
Velocity
Enter a value or expression for the Tangential velocity u (SI unit: m2/s). The default is 0 m2/s.
Diffusion Coefficient
Enter a value or expression for the diffusion coefficient Dc (SI unit: m2/s). The default is 1 × 10-9 m2/s.
Dispersion
Select a Dispersion modelUser defined (the default), Taylor (laminar, circular cross section), or Taylor (turbulent, circular cross section). For User defined, enter a value or expression for the Dispersion coefficient DD (SI unit: m2/s). The default is 0 m2/s. Find more detail in the theory section Dispersion.
