Patch an elliptical zone in VOF method

moh.sob · December 24, 2017, 15:49

Dear friends,
I want to simulate falling of an elliptical droplet of water in air via VOF method. How can I adapt an elliptical region?

It seems that you can't adapt an elliptical region in fluent, while there are only sphere and hex and cylinder options. Maybe you can define this region as a new domain when you are doing meshing , then you can patch the different domains. I haven't done this before, but I think you can give it a try.
