It combines the Turbulent Flow, SST and
Transport of Diluted Species interfaces. The
Reacting Flow, Diluted Species multiphysics coupling, which is added automatically, couples fluid flow and mass transport and applies turbulence modeling for the mass transport. The species transport supports both a mixture, where the concentrations are of comparable order of magnitude, and low-concentration solutes in a solvent.
The equations solved by the Turbulent Flow, SST interface are the Navier-Stokes equations for conservation of momentum and the continuity equation for conservation of mass. The fluid flow turbulence is modeled using the SST model. The SST model is a low-Reynolds number model which means that it resolves the velocity, pressure, and concentrations all the way down to the wall. For that reason this physics interface is suited for studying mass transfer at high Schmidt numbers. The SST model depends on the distance to the closest wall, and the interface therefore includes a wall distance equation.
The Transport of Diluted Species interface solves for an arbitrary number of concentrations. The species equations include transport by convection, diffusion and, optionally, migration in an electric field. Mass transport close to solid walls is modeled using wall functions.
) is used to simulate flow in the turbulent regime coupled to transport of dilute solutes present in a gas or liquid.
