how to model humidity or moisture within fluent?

ljt19960221 · May 6, 2018, 22:32

hi,
Does anybody know how to model humidity in fluent? I understand that the species transport has to be implemented but it is not clear how to set up the model.

I have a humidifier here and I want to know the RH of the surrounding air and moisture level of a wall.

temperature is around 40 degree Celsius, RH is around 40 - 60%.

I need some guide please.
Thank you very muchhh.

Hi Jian,

You need to define a mixture through the Species model and define proper species in the material menu (i.e. Air and water vapor). Moreover, you need to assign a proper mass fraction of water vapor based on RH and T at the inlet(s) (easily can read from the psychrometric chart).

Thanks for your guide. I have tried it and it worked.

But I wondering why the relative humidity on the wall is all the same as I thought it should be different humidity on different session of the wall.

If you share a figure illustrating your computational domain and boundary conditions maybe I can help to find out the problem.

I'm doing a humidity field analysis of the atomization of the nozzle. The atomization field is a cylinder with a length of 1 m and a diameter of 0.1 m, with walls on both sides and an outlet on the bottom. I would like to ask, how to set this boundary condition, and how to add humidity? I currently use the combined output model and the DPM model, but as a result, the mass fraction of water has always been zero. I'm confused, please. Thank you.

hi
anyone know how to use moisture with dpm method? i have particles that want to dry them.
thank alot

I suppose Fluent has a standard tutorial for spray drying. Just search for it.

Hi edris,
I'm looking for moisture content in fluent too. Did you figure out how obtain it?

yes, but it does't mention to moisture content.
