4.13.3.8. Example: DES droplet evaporation with UDF

\[\text{H}_2 \text{O}(l) → \text{H}_2 \text{O}(g)\]

Notes:

• Various algebraic expressions in the sample UDF are omitted for brevity.

• The global particle index (NP), phase index (pM), and fluid cell index (IJK) are passed as dummy arguments.
