Hello, every body

My geometry is a 2D suqare enclosure and the fluid fill of inside is Al2O3-Water.

This case is a natural convection and consider the transport equation include the brownian motion and thermophoresis mechanism.
Because i don't have enough experiences to validation the nanoparticle rayleigh number and nusselt number.
should i click the multiphase or discrete phase in models ?

Can any one can help me to solve it. thanks


the transport equation source is u*(Partial phi/Partial x) + v*(Partial phi/Partial y) =[(Partial/Partial x)*(DB*Partial phi/Partial x)+(Partial/Partial y)*(DB*Partial phi/Partial y]+[(Partial/Partial x)*(DT*Partial T/Partial x)+(Partial/Partial y)*(DT*Partial T/Partial y]

DB is brownian motion&DT is thermophoresis coefficient

by the way this is my code(the transport equation source term)困惑：

#include "udf.h"

DEFINE_SOURCE(temperature_source,c,t,dS,eqn)
{
real x[ND_ND];
real source;
real D_T /* thermophoresis coefficient */
real S_T; /* thermophoresis parameter */
real mu_f; /* water of dynamic viscosity Unit: kg/m-s */
real rho_f; /* water of density Unit: kg/m^3 */
real T; /* Temperatur of cold wall Unit: kelvin scale */
real phi; /* nanoparticle volume fraction */

S_T = 0.13; mu_f = 0.00063544; rho_f = 991.8; T = 313; phi = 0.01;
C_CENTROID(x,c,t);
C_UDSI(c,t,1);
C_T_G(c,t)[1]; /* returns the x-component of the cell temperature gradient vector */
D_T = S_T*(mu_f/(rho_f*T))*phi;

C_T_G(c,t,i)= c_t_g(c,t,i)/dx +

ds[equ] = D_T*C_UDSI(c,t,0);

return source;
}

Hi
I want to use one user defined scalar for transport equation (for volume fraction of nano particle),
I set in fluent but I dont know how I specified that scalar quantity is volume fraction?
I would appreciate if you can help me.
