Mass conservation in VOF steady state

Hello everyone,
I am trying to do a steady state multiphase simulation in a closed domain using VOF method. I do get a converged solution but when I check the mass of the phases, particularly the heavier one, I find that it is much less than what I had initialized the problem with. How does the solver say it is converged without enforcing mass convservation? Can anyone tell me how I can ensure FLUENT gives a solution with mass conservation? Thanks in anticipation, Deepak |
