Let me clarify this.
I am working on a project that combines CFD of fluid flow to a surface reaction model.
I am looking for ways that surface coverage data from outside is applied to CFD.
We run Fluent first at a time step and then, we run our reaction model, which can be defined outside or may be in a UDF as a type of arrays.
The reaction model calculate the reactant and product changes with time and position.
The consumption of reactants vary with time and positions.
We would like to see how the result of the reaction model (consumption of reactants and production of byproducts) affects the next CFD iteration.
Now that my source term is not a function of time and positions,
I was wondering if I could approximate our information of the array into the surface in Fluent by using DEFINE_SOURCE functions.
