Hello, I'm trying to model separation of liquid film from the surface through the slit. Principal scheme is shown.
What kind of multiphase model and boundary conditions type should I use?

[delaneyluke]

Use the VOF multiphase model.
At the inlet give the height of the water column, and specify volume/mass fractions at the outlets.

Thanks for the advice, but VOF model is not suitable, because phases must have different velocities (not 0 m/s).

Then you would probably have to use the Eulerian model where a separate momentum eqn is solved for each phase.

I tried this model, but in few iterations i got "Divergence detected". May be it is connected with the type of BC that I used? I used pressure-inlet and pressure outlet BC.
Besides, should I set volume fravtion distribution on inlet by simple profile or using UDF?

Yours faithfully,

This is an very interesting subject. In fact ,I am doing some works about liquid films now,but I am not sure wether fluent can model this sort of problems or not,because the magnitude of thickness of liquid film maybe too tiny to meet the continuum fluid mechanics .But I am not sure about this,I am inverstgating about this. Before this I am using a software named Surface evolver .
Hope you can get an answer .

Felix

Does anyone have experience with droplet simulation by surface evolver?
