Defining new material in Fluent

jipaz · August 22, 2015, 18:50

Dear all,

I am trying to define many new materials in Fluent: Drygas formed by hydrogen, methane, and ethane; and LPG formed by propane and n-butane.

Can I define these new materials just specifying its composition from existent materials in Fluent, or should I define them using their properties?

The problem is that their properties are not easyly available.

Any help is very welcome.

Ignacio

My guess is that you will have to define new materials by their properties. But you do not have to know much - depending on your problem, you may need only viscosity and density.
