Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if it is possible to recall the pressure value found at each iteration of the solver (which solves PEqn.H, the solver is interCondensatingEvaporatingFoam) in the "constant.C" library?
The OpenFoam version is v-2012, and the solver is interCondensatingEvaporatingFoam. I am trying to make TSat (saturation temperature) dependent on pressure, and therefore I need to have access from the file constant.C to the pressure value p found by solving the momentum equation.

kinds regard,
Rocco

I relase the code inside createFields.H

Hi Rocco,
Could you manage to make TSat (saturation temperature) dependent on pressure in interCondensatingEvaporatingFoam solver?

Hi Roham,
I maked this a lot of time ago. The answer for the your question is YES, is possibile, but if you do this, will be very difficult to manage the evaporation and condensation. I will try to find the material and I will try to explain how you can do.
Regards,
Rocco
