Hi there,
I'd like to know how to define species mass fraction with a UDF.

I found the macro C_YI(c,t,i), for defining the species mass fraction.
But how to hook this in fluent?
Probably under inlet at the boundary conditions panel,
but which is the appropriate general-purpose macro for this?

I tried the following but the mass fraction doesn't change.

Code:
DEFINE_PROFILE(species_profile, t, position)
{
  cell_t c;

  begin_c_loop(c, t)
  {
    if (temp_avg  > 700)
    {
       C_YI(c,t,0) = 0.2;
    }
    else
    {
       C_YI(c,t,0) = 0.8;
    }
 }
 end_c_loop(c, t)
}
Thanks in advance

Hello,

DEFINE_PROFILE has to return a value using C_PROFILE(c,t,i):

DEFINE_PROFILE(species_profile, t, i)
{
cell_t c;

begin_c_loop(c, t)
{
if (temp_avg > 700)
{
C_PROFILE(c,t,i) = 0.2;
}
else
{
C_PROFILE(c,t,i) = 0.8;
}
}
end_c_loop(c, t)
}Hook it in the boundary condition panel for your fluid zone(s) and make sure that Sum[C_YI(i)] = 1 is still valid after executing this UDF !

cheers

I need co mass fraction from back surface of the fan (ID=5) to use as CO species of outlet at front of the fan.

I also try to find the cause of this error when in try to put below UDF in my problem.

Error: received a fatal signal (Segmentation fault).

Error: received a fatal signal (Segmentation fault).
Error Object: #f

Here my UDF, aim to bring the CO (species mass fraction) variable data from back to front of the long cylinder tube.

#include "udf.h"

//Global variable declaration
real co;

//Execute every timestep
DEFINE_EXECUTE_AT_END(Fanback)
{
//Specific the domain ** 1 = mixture domain
Domain *mix_domain = Get_Domain(1);
Thread *mix_thread;
Thread **pt;

//Initialize the variable
co = 0;

#if !RP_HOST
mp_thread_loop_f(mix_thread, mix_domain, pt)
{
face_t c;
// pt[0] ** number [0] is co phase index (co in this case)
begin_f_loop(c, pt[0])
{
// Check if it is a outlet thread (thread id = 5) (Lookup from region list)
if (THREAD_ID(mix_thread)==5){
// Loop and sum up the flux for each face
co =F_YI(c,pt[0],1);

}


}
end_f_loop(c, pt[0])


}

#endif /* !RP_HOST */
node_to_host_real_1(co);

#if RP_HOST
Message("CO Concentration at FAN BACK = %f\n",co);
#endif /* !RP_NODE */


}

// Creating profile for returning inlet
DEFINE_PROFILE(co_outlet,t,i)
{
face_t f;
begin_f_loop(f,t)
{
//Apply flowout variable to the face
F_PROFILE(f,t,i) = co;
}
end_f_loop(f,t)
}

I can pass the complied and Hook the run the simulation using these UDF but the error is shown when first the time step is finished.
