Hi,
i am simulation a pipe, where an air mixture, with water-vaport in it, should condense at a wall.
So far there is no problem, condensation occours and everything looks reasonable, except for the relative humidity (rH).
I start at the inlet with a saturated air-mixture with an rH of 99,89%.
At some point of the simulation the rH start to exceed 100% and goes far over 1000%. All this just happens directly on the wall, where the vapor is condensing.
It seems like Fluent cant handle the precense of liquid water beside the air mixture..
Does anyone of you had the same problems, or does anyone have an idea where the reason for this could be?

Thanks in advance, Cheers!

Edit: I figured out, that the extremly high rH´s are due to backflow in the end of the pipe, still a rH of about 240% remains at the wall, where condensation occurs.
