How to export interphase mass transfer rate of a transient homogeneous multiphase flow simulation (cavitating flow) in trn-files?


Up to ANSYS CFX 10 the CFX-Post Variable Fluid 1 | Fluid 2.Interphase Mass Transfer Rate is not available during the run. It is only available in the final result file.
As a workaround it can be exported to trn-file, but therefore it has to be assinged to an additional variable. Furthermore the RULES and LIBRARY Object of the ccl-file needs some modification.

1. Define an Additional Variable, Units [kg/s/m^3]
2. Activate this additional variable for the liquid phase, not for the vapor phase.

ADDITIONAL VARIABLE: intmtr
Additional Variable Value = Water Vapour at 25 C | Water at 25 C.Interphase Ma
ss Transfer Rate
Option = Algebraic Equation
END
3. This variable can be exported to trn-files once it is part of the selected variables list.
4. Start the CFX-10 solver with the -ccl option in order to extend the standard-Rules file with the following file:

RULES:
PARAMETER: Output Variables List
Parameter Type = String List
Solver Name = CVAR: VARIABLE, ADDITIONAL VARIABLE, FLUID.VARIABLE,
PARTICLE.VARIABLE, PARTICLE.MATERIAL.VARIABLE, FLUID.ADDITIONAL
VARIABLE, SOLID.VARIABLE, SOLID.ADDITIONAL VARIABLE,
MATERIAL.VARIABLE, FLUID.MATERIAL.VARIABLE, ADDITIONAL
VARIABLE.VARIABLE, FLUID.ADDITIONAL VARIABLE.VARIABLE,
SOLID.ADDITIONAL VARIABLE.VARIABLE, MUSIG FLUID.VARIABLE, MUSIG
FLUID.SIZE GROUP.VARIABLE, FLUID PAIR.VARIABLE, FLUID.GRAY
GAS.VARIABLE, SOLID.GRAY GAS.VARIABLE, FLUID.SPECTRAL BAND.VARIABLE,
SOLID.SPECTRAL BAND.VARIABLE
Dynamic Reread Item = Yes
END
END
LIBRARY:
VARIABLE: ipmt rate
Option = Definition
MMS Name = IPMT_MTOT
Long Name = Interphase Mass Transfer Rate
Tensor Type = SCALAR
Quantity = Mass Source
Status = DR
CEL Root = /FLOW/PHYSICS/{Zone}/{PhasePair}
User Level = 3
Output to Jobfile = Yes
Output to Postprocessor = Yes
Physical Availability = MULTIPHASE
Variable Scope = PHASE
General Availability = CEL, RESULTS
END
END
