March 20, 2018, 10:19	Meaning of icAlpha in interFoam	#1
Yohan New Member Shin Soyong Join Date: Dec 2017 Posts: 8 Rep Power: 8	Hello guys. I am a beginner of OpenFOAM and lost my way during studying about multiphase solvers. While I was looking a fvsolver file in interfoam, I do not get what does icAlpha mean. As I saw a code file, it says it is something about adding optional isotropic compression contribution, but I don't get it. So, what is icAlpha, and how can I set proper number for specific simulating situation? Thanks in advance.!!
