Hello everyone. I am doing a conjugate heat transfer simulation and I want to define a humidifier in a special area of the flow and analyse its cooling effect. Can anyone help me with this?
I think I have to define porous media but I doubt it.
Thanks!
Hello @abonakdar, and welcome to the SimScale community! It’s always a pleasure to see an exciting project!
As a starting point, I would recommend taking a look at the extensive documentation page linked below, which focuses specifically on humidity and how it can be implemented on the SimScale platform. This should give you a comprehensive understanding of the process and provide you with all the necessary documentation.
In essence, humidifiers can be simulated using humidity sources under the advanced concepts section in the simulation tree. If you’re new to the platform, I would suggest the following:
- Complete one or two tutorials focusing on indoor thermal comfort simulations first, just to grasp how the process works.
- Then, implement the same settings to your own CAD model by adding humidity-related parameters as well.
You’ll find that the SimScale platform is quite intuitive, but please don’t hesitate to reach out if you encounter any issues or have questions. We’re here to help!
Best, Kaan
