mass transfer
 

Dear

I have inside my computational domain water-vapor flows over a cold-plate and I'd like to simulate the accumulation of the frost on the surface of the cold-plate with time, but I don't know from where to start in FLUENT, does it consider steady or unsteady state, do I have to choose pressure solver or density solver and so on? please if anyone know I'm looking forward for a reply.

Thanks a lot

Hello amar,

Fluent has solidification and Melting model. you can refer a tutorial on this in the basic tutorial list.however i feel your expectations are little on the higher side.
i know that deicing can be done, i.e. melting on ice.
you can cross check with fluent support. if you are from india you can contact india support.

Amar,

Have you find any solution for above mentioned simulation. even i am also looking for same solution. if you through with simulation please let me how to simulate this.

Hi GauravB,

I have not go through this type of simulations yet, and of course when I will start I'd like to share my experience with.
