Hello,how can i define a new field in interFoam?

Hi,everyone! I am studying multi-phase flow,now I want to define a new field like alpha1 or U in interFoam.So,where can I find the file which defines alpha1 or U? Best regards!

File "createFields.H" contains definition for alpha1, U, p and other fields. Do You want to define Your own new field?

Yes,I've read a phd thesis named "Study and Numerical Simulation of Sediment Transport in Free-Surface Flow" before.Now I am trying to define a field to capture the surface of sediment in waveflume.
