Hi
I want to study the evaporation of multicomponent droplet. The droplet composition is water and salt. I would like to understand how do I provide the composition in the DPM injection. Also I would like to understand if salt is available inthe fluent database.

For specifying a multicomponent type droplet, the continuous phase should be setup using the Species Transport model. DPM model will look as below with the multi-component particle setup:

This sets up a multicomponent droplet with 50% salt by mass and 50% by water-liquid. Salt is set as not evporating while water-liquid evaporates to water-vapor in the continuous phase.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Vishesh
