user defined source

HI, guys!

Fluent says one can use DEFINE_SOURCE to specify custom source terms for the different types of solved transport equations, well, I'm wondering the user-defined sources will BE ADDED TO or REPLACE COMPLETELY the original one, which exist in the discreted N-S functions, even no turbulence model introduced into it.

Helps are deeply appreciated!

Hi Kevin,

A source term is always added to the conservation laws.

Good luck!

I guessed so but found no evidence yet in Fluent's help files.

Thank you very much!
