15.2.3 Including Mass Transfer To Surfaces in Continuity

In the surface reaction boundary condition described above, the effects of the wall normal velocity or bulk mass transfer to the wall are not included in the computation of species transport. The momentum of the net surface mass flux from the surface is also ignored because the momentum flux through the surface is usually small in comparison with the momentum of the flow in the cells adjacent to the surface. However, you can include the effect of surface mass transfer in the continuity equation by activating the Mass Deposition Source option in the Species Model dialog box.
