3.9.2 Exchange Terms of Fibers

The continuous fiber model computes and stores the exchange of momentum, heat, mass, and radiation in each control volume in your ANSYS FLUENT model. You can display these variables graphically by drawing contours, profiles, etc. They all are contained in the Custom Field Functions... category of the variable selection drop-down list that appears in postprocessing dialog boxes:

fiber-mass-source   defined by Equation  2.6-2.

fiber-x-momentum-source   is the x-component of the momentum exchange, defined by Equation  2.6-1.

fiber-y-momentum-source   is the y-component of the momentum exchange, defined by Equation  2.6-1.

fiber-z-momentum-source   is the z-component of the momentum exchange, defined by Equation  2.6-1.

fiber-energy-source   defined by Equation  2.6-3.

fiber-dom-absorption   defined by Equation  2.6-4.

fiber-dom-emission   defined by Equation  2.6-5.

Note that these exchange terms are updated and displayed only when coupled computations are performed.
