Simulating condensation using evaporation-condensation model

Hi,
I'm modeling a wall-bounded flow with boundary conditions of a velocity inlet and no outflow. I enabled evaporation-condensation model to account for the mass transfer along with the phase change. Since the working fluid is user-defined and I didn't input its latent heat values, I was wondering how is energy transfer considered in the model? (I didn't find a place where I can manully define the energy source term.) And according to FLUENT theory guide, the evaporation-condensation model is only available with mixture or Eulerian multiphase models, probably because of the smaller-than-grid scale of the interface length. I actually used VOF model and discovered the condensation. Is my result valid? And what's the specific length scale of the droplets FLUENT used in its model? Thank you very much! |
