Species tab not enabled for providing mass fraction

SAM S · April 11, 2016, 04:43

Hi, I am using species transport model and volumetric reaction with finite rate mechanism. In the boundary conditions only momentum and thermal tabs are active for use but species tab I could not use. What is the problem with my set up. Can anyone please help me.

Hi,

Anybody found an answer to this? I have the same problem sometimes, i.e. the species tab is not active even if I have turned on the species models.

Thanks

Even if species transport is enabled, cell zones can have pure fluids. And the boundaries of cell zones with pure fluids cannot have species. So, go to cell zones and assign the mixture as material.
