Definition
• Schmidt Number—Ratio of momentum diffusivity (kinematic viscosity) to species (mass) diffusivity.
where
| density kg/m3 |
| dynamic viscosity Pa-s |
| diffusivity m2/s |
• Turbulent Schmidt Number—Ratio of the eddy viscosity to the eddy diffusivity.
where,
| density kg/m3 |
| dynamic turbulent viscosity kg/m-s |
| kinematic turbulent viscosity m2/s |
| turbulent mass diffusivity m2/s |
• Convective Flux— Boundary condition, in which the transported flux of scalar
per unit area, is a function of the external ambient concentration and an exchange coefficient:
where,
| scalar flux kg/m2-s |
| convective transport coefficient kg/m2-s |
| ambient value of scalar |
| The value of the scalar is also referred to as concentration when you view results or plots. |
