KNOWN ISSUE: Problem with energy equation in multiphase, multi-component flow (Class 3 Error)


SYMPTOM:
The predicted temperature field in a multiphase, multi-component flow is incorrect. The errors may be quite large and noticeable, but they are equally likely to be small and not apparent to the user.

PROBLEM:
This is due to a problem with the drift flux term, modelling species diffusion, in the energy equation having incorrect dependence on the volume fractions of the fluids.

WORKAROUND:
No workaround is currently available.

FIXED IN:
ANSYS CFX Release 12.1. A custom executable for ANSYS CFX Release 12.0 is available on request.
