In this link you have the discretization of pEqn.H in sonicFoam, buoyantFoam and interFoam:

For interPhaseChangeFoam is similar to interFoam.

div(U) = source

in pEqn.H of the interPhaseChangeFoam solver would be typped as:

fvScalarMatrix pEqn
(
fvc::div(phi) - fvm::laplacian(rUAf,pd) - source
);


Am I wright?
div(U) = (vDotcP-vDotvP) * (p - pSat)

So, to pEqn of interPhaseChangeFoam, the Sp of source term is {(vDotcP-vDotvP) * p} and Su is {-(vDotcP-vDotvP) * pSat}.

However, in pEqn.H, the U is the face volume flux phi instead of the velocity U, why we need not intepolate the RHS too?

Hello Bitan,

I am working on surface aeration. We have tried with LES in fluent. want to apply the level set method to study the interface behavior in openfoam.

I came across the link to below paper. Would it be possible to refer to this paper ?

Implementation of level set method based on OpenFOAM for Capturing the free interface in incompressible fluid flows.

hello all,
I am new to openfoam, and can anyone give me advice on how to use BasicThermo.C in Interfoam??
Basically, i want to vary density and temperature with change in pressure, in a two-phase vof problem.
it would be a great help if anyone would give me advice on this!!
thank you,
warm regards,
Karthik

Dear All

May I ask you which VOF model has been used in OF? Is it Youngs, Hirt and Nichols, or another VOF method?

Thanks
Ehsan

Hi Foamers,
i want simulate evaporation in vertical tube,i use interFoam solver,and i know should modify by adding T.eqn and mass source..but i dont know how??plz help...
