hi In writing UDF For DEFINE_EXCHANGE_PROPERTY I am having three phases.I can't increase the no. of arguments for third phase as it is fixed. Then how can i take into account the third phase.

Help needed.

Hi, you have to declare one thread for one phase :

thread_g=THREAD_SUB_THREAD(mix_thread,f_col); thread_l=THREAD_SUB_THREAD(mix_thread,s_col);

mix_thread is the mixture thread, from what you reach the other phase. f_col and s_col represent the phase which are in the first column and in 2nd column of the table Phase/Interaction in fluent. So you can declare as much as phase as you want.

Have a look in UDF Booklet in Fluent Documentation.

Hi Thanks For your suggestion. I have already gone through the UDF Booklet in Fluent Documentation.

/* find the threads for the gas (primary) and solids (secondary phases) */

thread_g = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(mix_thread, s_col);/* gas phase */ thread_s = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(mix_thread, f_col);/* solid phase*/

For the one more phase(liquid) which will be secondary as there will be only one primary phase should i write? thread_l = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(mix_thread, f_col);

Then f_col will be comon for both solid and liquid phase.Is this right approach?

Waiting for your suggestion. Thanks

Hi, look in fluent the table, in the menu Define/Phases/Interaction to see which phase is in the fist column and in the 2nd one. if your secondary liquid is in the first column then thread_l = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(mix_thread, f_col); is correct. Anyway, I think fluent considers interaction between secondary phases and primary phases first and after interactions between secondary phases.

Ciao

hi Thanks!! Hopefully it will work out. How to print the values of exchange terms from UDF to cross-check it with hand calculation to verify that they are giving correct values.

Waiting for your suggestions.
