Hi,
I'm trying to simulate a simple EHD flow with CFX: it's a 2D channel flow with the top wall at an eletric potential +V and the bottom wall at -V. My fluid contains anion and cation and I want to see how their spatial distributions are affected by the electric potential. I got an example from the customer portal with charged particles. However, this is for discrete spatial distribution (ie charged particles). Whereas I need the charge density to be determined from my anion/cation concentrations. Is it possible to do this with CFX12.0? If so, how do I implement the continuous distribution for the charge density? Thanks, Charlotte |

You will have to do this using something like additional variables, and link the additional variable to the flow using source terms.

In general for beta feature I would expect development and bug fixes with newer releases. So I would go for 12.1 or even for the upcoming version 13.0.
There may be exceptions from this rule of thumb, however I guess its worth to try. |

Tanks for your replies. Starting 12.1, this beta feature became a paid feature . So I'm stuck with 12.0 for now.
It seems that the emag beta feature is advanced enough for my case. I found some slides where they did simulations much more complex than mine here: http://www.mesco.pl/produkty/ansys/c...netics@cfx.pdf I started to implement the extra variables and sources, but my code became unstable. I guess I need to double-check my equations and play with the Source coefficient. I'll update this post if I get better results. Charlotte |

I was able to reproduce most of Bazant results (2004, Physical Review E, "Diffuse-charge dynamics in electrochemical systems") with the following setup. Double precision is needed and the accuracy is highly dependent on the mesh quality. The problem here is 1D (I did setup a 2D cases with the same method without any trouble).
