Thank you for replying. While there are some pointers in your response about concepts, it doesn't tell me how to check facet growth and how to avoid splits in the surface.  I was looking for settings in the parameters or guidelines for time step size (or CFL number) or relaxation or model setup parameters. We are very familiar with the governing equations for falling film condensation heat and mass transfer and see that the EWF model is a simplified version. Is there something about the phase change equations that we need to specify?   If you are constrained from giving detailed responses, how can I find out what I need to know?
