Modeling of Stefan Flow due to Evaporation from a Water Surface
Application ID: 103101
This tutorial model demonstrates the use of the Moisture Flow coupling node to account for the Stefan flow in moist air, over an evaporation surface. The effects on the velocity field and vapor concentration are presented with different ambient temperature conditions.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® and
- either the Heat Transfer Module, or Porous Media Flow Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
