Hello
I am trying to decipher the input files for the two-phase example of a bubble column, in order to be able to modify them for my own application.
I understand all the 'transportPropoerties' info except for "R":

phase1
{
rho 1;
rho0 0;
R 287;
Cp 1007;

nu 1.589e-05;
kappa 2.63e-2;

diameterModel isothermal;
isothermalCoeffs
{
d0 3e-3;
p0 1e5;
}
}


Any ideas?
Thanks!!

R is clearly the universal gas constant for air.

Thanks immortality. I thought it was something like that, but I'm not sure why the value of R for the second phase (water) is set to be 1e10. Is this a randomly large number, or does it have any meaning?

[immortality]

your welcome.where it has defined for water?
------------
I think because its not gas it has given a high value so that its increase in volume due to heat addition in constant pressure is small then specific heat is high.

In file transportProperties:

phase2 //liquid
{
rho 1027;
rho0 1027;
R 1e10;
Cp 4195;

nu 3e-7;
kappa 0.668;

diameterModel constant;
constantCoeffs
{
d 1e-4;
}
}

i updated the above post if you have seen and also thank you for reputation.
Could you find a formula of R that can argue for liquids?

can the compressibleTwoPhaseEulerFoam used for the simulation of the growth of a spherical bubble? thanking you in advance.
