nvarma is on a distinguished road
In multi-species modelling without reactions, how does fluent calculate the default value of Diffusion coefficient?


For instance, I have a case with water vapour and Nitrogen, if I choose the "constant-dilute-approx", the default value is 2.88e-5.

What is the accuracy of this value? How is this calculated?


Will it be any better if I use multicomponent method?


Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated! Even links/references would do.

Thanks
