I want to simulate the phase tranfer in the heat pipe, and a udf was compiled in FLUENT,which is as follow:

#include "udf.h"
#include "sg_mphase.h"
#define T_SAT 323
#define LAT_HT 2356e3
DEFINE_SOURCE(vap_src, cell, pri_th, dS, eqn)
{
Thread *mix_th, *sec_th;
real m_dot_v;
mix_th = THREAD_SUPER_THREAD(pri_th);
sec_th = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(mix_th, 1);
/*m_dot_v=0.;*/
if(C_T(cell, mix_th)>=T_SAT)
{
m_dot_v = 0.1*C_VOF(cell, sec_th)*C_R(cell, sec_th)*fabs(C_T(cell, sec_th) - T_SAT)/T_SAT;

dS[eqn] = 0.;
}

if(C_T(cell, mix_th)<=T_SAT)
{
m_dot_v = -0.1*C_VOF(cell, pri_th)*C_R(cell, pri_th)*fabs(T_SAT-C_T(cell,pri_th))/T_SAT;
dS[eqn] = -0.1*C_R(cell, pri_th)*fabs(C_T(cell, pri_th) - T_SAT)/T_SAT;
}
return m_dot_v ;
}

DEFINE_SOURCE(liq_src, cell, sec_th, dS, eqn)
{
Thread * mix_th, *pri_th;
real m_dot_l;
mix_th = THREAD_SUPER_THREAD(sec_th);
pri_th = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(mix_th, 0);
/*m_dot_l=0.;*/
if(C_T(cell, mix_th)>=T_SAT)
{
m_dot_l = -0.1*C_VOF(cell, sec_th)*C_R(cell, sec_th)*fabs(C_T(cell, sec_th) - T_SAT)/T_SAT;
dS[eqn] = -0.1*C_R(cell, sec_th)*fabs(C_T(cell, sec_th) - T_SAT)/T_SAT;
}
if(C_T(cell, mix_th)<=T_SAT)
{
m_dot_l = 0.1*C_VOF(cell, pri_th)*C_R(cell, pri_th)*fabs(T_SAT-C_T(cell,pri_th))/T_SAT;
dS[eqn] =0.;
}

return m_dot_l;
}

DEFINE_SOURCE(enrg_src, cell, mix_th, dS, eqn)
{
Thread *pri_th, *sec_th;
real m_dot;
pri_th = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(mix_th, 0);
sec_th = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(mix_th, 1);
if(C_T(cell, mix_th)>=T_SAT)
{
m_dot = -0.1*C_VOF(cell, sec_th)*C_R(cell, sec_th)*fabs(C_T(cell, sec_th) - T_SAT)/T_SAT;
dS[eqn] = -0.1*C_VOF(cell, sec_th)*C_R(cell, sec_th)*LAT_HT/T_SAT;
}

if(C_T(cell, mix_th)<=T_SAT)
{
m_dot = 0.1*C_VOF(cell, pri_th)*C_R(cell, pri_th)*fabs(T_SAT-C_T(cell,pri_th))/T_SAT;
dS[eqn] = 0.1*C_VOF(cell, pri_th)*C_R(cell, pri_th)*LAT_HT/T_SAT;
}
return LAT_HT*m_dot; }

Using the code above, I can simulate the evaporation, but the condensation did not appear, even the temperature of vapor was much lower than the saturation temperature.
Now I am so confused. Anyone can help me?

Dear Jone
The latent heat at any temperature you took it?
I am also just boiling occurred but condensation no i do not know why
your simulation is good now?
Many Thanks

Dear friends, I'm doing the same problem as my project work. In my simulation condensation is also not happening in condenser zone. If anyone got results, please help me.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm using same udf for my simulation of evaporation in a rectangular channel. As i initialize my solution i'm getting "fatal error(segmentation fault)". I've also tried hooking udf after some iteration still getting same error. Cab anyone help?

Thnks

Thnks
are you able to simulate the problem by using this udf ,is it working fine or have you done any changes to this udf?
