/** # Isothermal Evaporation of a Static Binary Droplet A binary liquid droplet is placed on the lower-left edge of the domain. The two chemical species in liquid phase have the same physical properties, but different volatility. The relative volatility between the heavy and the light species is equal to 0.5. Therefore, we expect the light component to start to evaporate first, increasing its mass fractions in gas phase and decreasing its concentration in the liquid phase. The heavy component accumulates in the liquid phase in response to the evaporation of the light species. The gas phase is initially full of an inert compound, important in combustion simulations, which always remains in gas phase. ![Evolution of the mass fraction fields of the light, heavy, and inert components, and the grid refinement](staticbi/movie.mp4)(height=600 width=600) */ /** ## Phase Change Setup We let the default settings of the evaporation model: the Stefan flow is shifted toward the liquid phase, and the consistent phase is the liquid, which is advected using the extended velocity. The multicomponent model requires the number of gas and liquid species to be set as compiler variables. We don't need to solve the temperature field because the vapor pressure is set to a constant value, different for each chemical species. Using GSL at level 1 we can activate the coupled solution of the interface jump condition. */ #define NGS 3 #define NLS 2 /** ## Simulation Setup We use the centered solver with the evaporation source term in the projection step.
