Dear all,
i am simulating a species transport problem. For that, I have to define mixture of gases by volume percentage (CO2+H2O+O2+N2=100%) in a rectangular domain. How can I do that? Thanks |

Do you have a species transport problem or do you simply want to model it as a mixture of gases? It doesn't mean the same thing.
Specifying the gas mixture in the domain is done in cell zone conditions. In a species transport problem, you don't know the composition beforehand, you have to solve for it with the calculate button. Here you only give an initial guess. |

Ok so you need to use the species transport model. Specify the composition of air at the inlet as a boundary condition. For the interior with a predefined mixture, you would specify the mass fractions as the initial condition in the initialization. Normally you would specify mass fractions because that's the primitive variable in the species transport, but sometimes you are allowed to specify mole fractions.
