We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

      When solving for chemical species transport, the effect of enthalpy transport due to species diffusion can be included in the energy equation. If using the pressure-based solver, this option can be enabled by opening the Species Model panel and clicking the Diffusion Energy Source checkbox. In the density-based solver, this term is always included in the energy equation. In particular, when the Lewis number is much larger than 1 in any of the species, it may lead to large errors if this term is ignored.
