Hi All,
I'm trying to simulate the condensation of water vapor in an air compressor without any initial liquid present, using reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam. The gas entering the compressor is modeled as a multi component mixture ( air + H2O) with mass fractions from psychometric data: 300K, 1atm, 70% RH alpha.gas is set to 1, and alpha.liquid is set to 0. I have tried several settings from the tutorials and other documents focusing on mass transfer and phase change, yet alpha.liquid remains zero. Any guideline would be appreciated. Thank you |

For mass trasnfers to trigger this this solver, one has to give a very small value of volume fractions for the other phase maybe 1e-12. Thats how it is built
