Does anybody have the experience of using FLUENT6.0 to model the steam condensation process? If so, could you please tell me some of your experience. Thank you.

I have the same kind of problem.....if u get any answer from other sources than this, please let me know....thank u....

i'm trying to solve such a problem these days. i just know u must use VOF model and write udf for condensation

I have some experiences about steam condensation. The udf is the tough part.

hi guy
do u suceed in the process of condensation by Fluent?

In Fluent 12 you have an inbuilt function which takes evaporation/condensation into account.
You have to use Eulerian or mixture model for that.
Then in phase interaction under mass transfer mechanism you can see evaporation / condensation option.

For Fluent 6.0 you need to write an UDF.

i suggest not to use version 6! It's really difficult to handle with UDF.
by the way, Why is this web so cold?
