Hello All, How can vacuum be modeled in Fluent?

Thank you.

You will have to be waaaay more specific to get a useful answer...

Hello,

I'm sorry .. I want to simulate a power coupler, inside the coupler there is the vacuum and outside there is air so I have to model the convection outside the coupler, the conduction in the material of the coupler and the radiation on the inside

So I will use the S2S model for radiation, but when I put nothing inside the coupler Fluent does not want to calculate the radiating faces so I need to model the vacuum

thank you

Mine it's just a guess but, you could try to set the density of the internal volume very close to zero. I'm not sure how the solver wil behave though...
