Species Transport Field Functions Reference

The following field functions are made available when a Multi-Component Material has been specified.

Effective Mass Diffusivity of Species The effective mass diffusivity, Deff=Dm+μt/(ρσt) , where Dm is the molecular diffusivity, μt is the turbulent viscosity, and σt is the turbulent Schmidt number. For laminar flows, μt=0 , and Deff=Dm .
Mass Fraction of Species The mass fraction, Yi=mi/mm , of species i in mixture m.
Molar Concentration of Species

The molar concentration, Ci=ρmYi/Wi , of species i in a mixture m, where ρm is the mixture density, Yi is the species mass fraction, and Wi is the species molecular weight.
Mole Fraction of Species

The mole fraction, Xi=YiWm/Wi , of species i in a mixture m, where Yi is the species mass fraction, Wm is the molecular weight of the mixture, and Wi is the molecular weight of the species.
