can Simscape two phase flow components deal with air / water mixtures?

From the online examples, the Simcape models all have single substance but different phases of that substance. I am wondering if a system that has two different substances such as air and water, can it be simulated using Simscape?

Hi Xilin,

You can try to use the Moist Air domain. This domain is nominally set with dry air, water vapor, and a trace gas. The water vapor can condense out of the system as well.

Hi Martin,

is there any way to keep that water in the system and compute two component flows?

Hi Luis,

The shipping library blocks do not currently model liquid water and gaseous air flowing simultaneously in the same component. This could be achieved using a custom domain and custom components.
