Here is a UDF program I wrote in order to realize the process of water evaporation in Fluent.The water evaporation occurs as a result of the decrease of pressure in stead of temperature increasement.So,the program is based on the pressure driven theory.A low pressure boundary is also used to develop a low pressure region nearby.
However,when it was hooked to the fluent solver ,it wound't work.
Can you help me ?

Hi!
Have your problem solved? I'm interesting in the problem of evaporation as yours. After reading your programme, I have a question about the formula(m_dot_l = -(P_SAT-C_P(cell,sec_th))*sqrt(moleweight)*(2*pi*R*C_T(cel l,pri_th)), which literature include this?

Looking forward to your reply!
Thanks!

Hi
Why not using the cavitation-models, already included in FLUENT? You can use Singhal, Schnerr-Sauer and Zwart-Gerber-Belamri there.

Hi
Thank you for your suggestion. In my opinion, the mechanism of evaporation in the cavitation is different from flash evaporation. Maybe I am wrong, I will learn about the cavitation-models. Are you familiar with cavitation?

Hi
What is 'flash evaporation' ? You mean temperature-driven evaporation?

Quote:
The water evaporation occurs as a result of the decrease of pressure in stead of temperature increasement.
In my opinion, thats the definition of cavitation, so you should take a closer look to the models.
If the pressure falls under a critical value, evaporation occurs. If the pressure is increasing downstream, the bubbles collapse (condensation) and locally you get really big values of temperature and pressure (its like an implosion).

Just look over the FLUENT user-guide or ask me again. Maybe I can help.

Greetings

Hi
Flash evaporation is pressure-driven evaporation. When the saturated liquid (for example, liquid Hydrogen under high pressure) is released into atmosphere, most or all of the liquid immediately "flashes" into vapor, resulting in decrease of the system temperature. I wonder if the cavitation model can be helpful.
Thanks

Is your's a constant temperature or varying temperature model, i need to write a udf for evaporation ocuring by means of decreasing pressure which in turn decreases the temperature.

can u help me...
