Defining new fluids in Fluent

Ken_ · August 14, 2018, 14:16

Hi, I worked on a project wherein I had to write my own solvers for mixing two silicone oils in a simple rectangular mixing chamber with 2 inlets & 4 slits. I'm trying to solve this project in Fluent to verify my results.

The properties of these 2 fluids given to me are kinematic viscosity & diffusion coefficient since these are the only two properties I required to solve the project via my code.

Can someone help me with defining new fluids in Fluent with only these 2 properties known?

Have you looked at the user guide for FLUENT ?

I believe it is possible to create materials with editable property values for mixtures and very well explained in the user guide.

Best Regards.
