Hello everyone,

can anyone explain to me why C_UDSI_G is multiplied by the cell volume in the following UDF example? (in the udf manual, pasted below). Is this necessary if we want to write a scalar in terms of the derivative of another scalar?? i.e. say Ive got a UDS equation solving for some scalar H and another one solving for some scalar I, say a source term appears in the equation for scalar I, which is given by DH/DX...do i need to write this as C_VOLUME*C_UDSI_G(c,t,index of scalar H)?

Thanks for your help
AK
