How to simulate crystallization process?

chinu007 · June 11, 2019, 07:30

Hi everyone...
I want to do a numerical simulation of crystal formation for secondary nucleation(means seed crystal is already planted in aqueous solution). Initially, aqueous solution contains both solvent(water), solute(KCl) and with the difference in temperature aqueous solution is solidifying ONLY near to the solid crystal(KCl) means the total volume of solid crystal increases with time.

I am using multiphase, species transport and population balance model. But I am not getting a proper solution.

I don't have much idea about population balance model of ANSYS, I would be glad if someone can help me.

Hi,

I think you can follow steps given in the Manual.
btw, what was the solution that seemed unproper to you?
