Chemical Species Transport
The Transport of Diluted Species Interface () is available for modeling the transport of chemical species and ions. The assumption in these physics interfaces is that one component, a solvent, is present in excess (typically more than 90 mol%). This means that the mixture properties, such as density and viscosity, are independent of concentration. To model concentrated species, the Chemical Reaction Engineering Module is recommended in addition to the Polymer Flow Module.
The Laminar Flow interface () under the Reacting Flow branch combines the functionality of the Single-Phase Flow and Transport of Concentrated Species interfaces. The physics interface is primarily applied to model flow at low to intermediate Reynolds numbers in situations where the mass transport and flow fields have to be coupled, for example in polymerization processes.
