Hi all, What is the unit of T (in passive scalar transport)? thanks

Hi @Mo_Elsebaei , Have a look at the following explanation from SimScale documentation regarding your query. It is important to understand the correct interpretation of units used for passive scalar sources. Since passive scalars do not affect the dynamics of fluid flow, units for passive scalars a…

thank you @HamzaBaig for your reply i saw this and have read it but still did not get an answer, simply what is T unit ? in case of volumetric source or the normal source what is T stand for? i understood that units of passive scalars are independent to the unit system but that does not mean tha…

Hi @Mo_Elsebaei , I just realized that we have discussed the topic in the recent past. [image] Passive scalar sources Fluid Flow / CFD Hi @Mo_Elsebaei In passive scalar source, values interpretation is all upon the user. Thus one can define a passive scalar flux as 500 1/…

Thank you again @HamzaBaig , it is a different question than the previous topic we have discussed the input (flux), now im asking about the unit of T which is the output simply what is T unit?

Hi @Mo_Elsebaei and thanks for tagging! T is not a temperature but a concentration, it works as a tracker but has no density or anything like that. Does that help? Cheers! Jousef

thank you so much for the reply, i do understand the concept of it as tracker, but tell me please if the following is correct or not: T indicates how much of the flux is in an area but it is not concentration that can be calculated from the flux that we have define as input can we assume that the…
