Mass and Energy flux imbalance in DPM problems (Solution 547)

ƒ In DPM problems, the Report „ Fluxes... panel will usually give a non-zero mass and energy
balances
ƒ The energy imbalance happens with cases involving combustion or heat transfer from the
particles/droplets to the gas phase
ƒ In these cases the user should go to:
Report „ Volume Integrals „ Sum „ Discrete Phase Model… and calculate the sum for:
• DPM Mass Source
• DPM Enthalpy Source

ƒ At convergence, the Sum of DPM Mass Source and DPM Enthalpy Source should be
algebraically equal to the Mass and Total Heat Transfer Rate imbalances in the
Report „ Fluxes… panel
ƒ For large combustion problems, this energy balance can take longer to achieve and is a
better indication of convergence than low residuals
