Steps being followed:<\/p>\n

(Before tracer injection)<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Setup: realizable K-e, standard wall functions; Multiphase – VOF; Species transport: OFF<\/p>\n

2. Side Inlet: Air (Vol. frac 0); Top Inlet: Water (Vol. frac 1)<\/p>\n

Ran the simulation in steady state, obtained converged solution post 20000 iterations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

(During tracer injection) – Switched to Transient simulation<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Setup: realizable K-e, standard wall functions; Multiphase – VOF; Species transport: OFF<\/p>\n

2. Side Inlet: Air (Vol. frac 0); Top Inlet: Water (Vol. frac 1 but tracer mass fraction = 1)<\/p>\n

3. In the solution –> Controls –> Equation, Flow: Off, Volume Fraction: On, Turbulence: On, Tracer: On<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

(Post Tracer Injection)<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Method 1]<\/p>\n

1. Setup: realizable K-e, standard wall functions; Multiphase – VOF; Species transport: OFF<\/p>\n

2. Side Inlet: Air (Vol. frac 0); Top Inlet: Water (Vol. frac 1 but tracer mass fraction = 0)<\/p>\n

3. In the solution –> Controls –> Equation, Flow: On, Volume Fraction: On, Turbulence: On, Tracer: Off<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

[Method 2]<\/p>\n

1. Setup: realizable K-e, standard wall functions; Multiphase – VOF; Species transport: OFF<\/p>\n

2. Side Inlet: Air (Vol. frac 0); Top Inlet: Water (Vol. frac 1 but tracer mass fraction = 0)<\/p>\n

3. In the solution –> Controls –> Equation, Flow: On, Volume Fraction: On, Turbulence: On, Tracer: On<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

While following Method 1, tracer amount doesn't increase in tundish. However, if method 2 is followed, tracer amount increases.<\/p>\n

P.S: When the simulation was performed using method 2 for the homogeneous phase, the simulation ran smoothly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-166255","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["282"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["247173"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["166255"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","247173"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["204984"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["204984"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-02-21 12:48:51"]},"test":"abhinav-20mmz0004iitrpr-ac-in"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166255\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
