Twophaseeulerfoam implementation

tankerp · February 20, 2018, 03:19

Hello !

I am planning to use twoPhaseEulerFoam for an internal turbulent multiphase flow. I have separate inlets for water and air and they will mix downstream. I plan to consider the air as a continuous phase and water as dispersed.

My questions are:
1. Is twoPhaseEulerFoam suitable for these types of problems. Majority of the tutorials I see are based on using the solver for bubble flows.

2. Is there a model available within OpenFoam which can simulate this as a homogeneous mixture model (algebraic slip models)? For eg: can driftFluxFoam be used (I understood from the forum that this solver is more suitable for solid-liquid flows)?

You may want to have a look at the breaking dam tutorial.. although that one uses interfoam instead.
