Default Calculate net species/ UDS flux

I am new to Fluent. I am using the software to model electrochemical analyses with advective effects. I have found in Fluent the capability to solve for the net flux of energy through a surface which has a specified temperature. Is there an easily available analogous capability for calculating the net flux of an electroactive species to a solid surface? Or the surface integral of normal gradient of the species concentration at a surface? Thanks!

Figured it out - a UDF to do this is based on Fluent 6.1 UDF Guide section 5.2.2 Connectivity Variables. Here's the UDF for UDS-0 : note that because Execute_at_end does not have threads available to be passed, the zone ID and index must be hard coded. Also, prior to linking to a case file, type "solve/set/expert" and then answer "yes" to the question "keep temporary solver memory from being freed? Finally, use as a compliled not interpreted UDF.

grad[1]=C_UDSI_G(c0,tc0,index)[1];

scalar_f=F_UDSI(f,f_thread,index);

rho = C_R(c0,tc0);

D=C_UDSI_DIFF(c0,tc0,index)/rho; /* for my applications expect D to be constant therefore OK, also, my D is FLUENTs gamma/rho*/

grad_p=(scalar_f-scalar_c)/ds*A_by_es;

grad_x=NV_DOT(grad,A)-NV_DOT(grad,es)*A_by_es;

flux+=D*(grad_p+grad_x);

}

end_f_loop(f, f_thread);

flux=flux*2.*M_PI; /* for 2-D axisymetric calculation */

Slight correction to the above - for general 2 or 3 - D problem replace lines such as "grad[0]=C_UDSI_G(c0,tc0,index)[0];" with ND_SET commands
