hi all
i am modelling the spray drying of milk. but i am stuck on one point when i create an injection there is an error showing "atomizer model is only valid for axi-symmetric flow". what does it refer and how to solve this problem

Make your model axi-symmetric.

Axi symmetric means flow fields are same around an axis. So an actual 3D problem you can solve in 2D, if it is axi-symmetric in nature.

Eg. Flow through cylindrical pipes, spraying,

All the best
