Multi phase Volume fraction at inlet

November 20, 2008, 12:01

Hi

I am modelling a liquid liquid extractor with two phases. The domain has two inlets and two outlets. Both phases flow counter current. My problem is the converged solution shows inlet boundary of phase (A) having only 50% Vol. fraction of A altough i give volume fraction of A as 1. Mass flow at all other boundaries are correct. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanx

Hi!

were you able to set up the boundary conditions for your countercurrent simulation? How did you do?

I really appreciate your help.
