Hello everyone, I recently started using Fluent and I would like to try to reproduce the evaporation of a drop of n-heptane as done in this video but in the absence of gravity:

It's a 2D model and I used ANSYS Fluent 2023 R1 (2d, axi, dp, pbns,eulerian, spe, lam, transient).
I used the implicit multi-fluid VOF and set phase 1 to be a mixture of air/n-heptane-vapor while phase two is liquid n-heptane. Heat transfer: ranz-marshall. Mass transfer: evaporation-condensation. I set an initial droplet temperature of 300 K while the walls and internal domain at 873 K.

At the beginning I have a situation like the image but, when it evaporates, I find something like this (the drop moves and also the diameter doesn't decrease uniformly).

Could anyone give me some advice?

Thank you very much

Hello, just wondering if you have figured this out? I am trying to run a similar simulation.
