Population Balance Model in Fluent - Surface area of changes due to diffusion of part

I am trying to simulate particles motion in laminar flow using a monodisperse population balance model that uses three transport equations to track number (N_agg), surface area (A_tot), and mass of particles (C_tot). I have used three UDSs to implement the transport equations. The diffusion of particles (due to gradient of N_agg) changes N_agg, A_tot and C_tot.
The problem is that the diffusion of particles is only associated with second derivative of N_agg (d2N_agg/dx2), so the transport equation for N_agg can be expressed in UDS standard form. BUT, the transport equation for A_tot, and C_tot does not follow the conventional form. So, the effect of particles diffusion (due to N_agg gradient) becomes source term for A_tot and C_tot. I calculated the RHS expressions using DEFINE_SOURCE for A_tot and C_tot, but I always get diverged simulations. I couldn't find any similar example in UDF manual. |
