NightWing Member Akr Join Date: Apr 2015 Location: India Posts: 53 Rep Power: 11	Hi all, If i want to model a phase change material (eg. paraffin wax), can i use Eulerian model for it? ( while looking at the user guide, it was mentioned that, eulerian model has a limitation as melting/ solidification cannot be modeled). So will i be able to perform the analysis using paraffin wax? bcoz initially the paraffin is in solid state and eventually it melts to liquid form by application of heat! Any inputs?
