23.7.5 Reporting of Interphase Exchange Terms and Discrete Phase Concentration

ANSYS FLUENT reports the magnitudes of the interphase exchange of momentum, heat, and mass in each control volume in your ANSYS FLUENT model. It can also report the total concentration of the discrete phase. You can display these variables graphically, by drawing contours, profiles, etc. They are all contained in the Discrete Phase Model... category of the variable selection drop-down list that appears in postprocessing dialog boxes:

• DPM Mass Source

• DPM Erosion Rate

• DPM Accretion Rate

• DPM X,Y,Z Momentum Source

• DPM Swirl Momentum Source

• DPM Turbulent Kinetic Energy Source

• DPM Turbulent Dissipation Source

• DPM Sensible Enthalpy Source

• DPM Enthalpy Source

• DPM Number Density

• DPM Volume Fraction

• DPM Volume

• DPM Number of Particles

• DPM Number of Parcels

• DPM Number of Collisions

• DPM Absorption Coefficient

• DPM Emission

• DPM Scattering

• DPM Burnout

• DPM Evaporation/Devolatilization

• DPM Concentration

• DPM (species) Source

• DPM (species) Concentration

See Chapter  31 for definitions of these variables.

Note that these exchange terms are updated and displayed only when coupled calculations are performed. Displaying and reporting particle trajectories (as described in Sections  23.7.1 and 23.7.2) will not affect the values of these exchange terms.
