Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase - overview
Used to model droplets or bubbles of secondary phase(s)
dispersed in continuous fluid phase (primary phase).
Allows for mixing and separation of phases.
Solves momentum, enthalpy, and continuity equations for each
phase and tracks volume fractions.
Uses a single pressure field for all phases.
Uses interphase drag coefficient.
Allows for virtual mass effect and lift forces.
Multiple species and homogeneous reactions in each phase.
Allows for heat and mass transfer between phases.
Can solve turbulence equations for each phase.

Methodology
A general multiphase system consists of interacting phases
dispersed randomly in space and time. Interpenetrating continua.
Methods:
Use of continuum theory and thermodynamical principles to
formulate the constitutive equations (ASMM).
Use of microstructural model in which macroscopic behavior is
inferred from particle interaction: Eulerian-Granular.
Use of averaging techniques and closure assumptions to model the
unknown quantities:
Space averaging with no time averaging.
Time averaging with no space averaging.
Ensemble averaging with no space averaging.
space/time or ensemble/space averaging: Eulerian-Eulerian.

Two-fluid model (interpenetrating continua)
Deductive approach:
Assume equations for each pure phase.
Average (homogenize) these equations.
Model the closure terms.
Inductive approach:
Assume equations for interacting phases.
Model the closure terms.

gives the general balance law and its jump condition:

Interphase forces: virtual mass and lift
Virtual mass effect: caused by relative acceleration between
phases Drew and Lahey (1990).

Kvm, fs = Cvms f ( + u f u f ) ( + us us )
t t
Virtual mass effect is significant when the second phase density is
much smaller than the primary phase density (i.e., bubble column).
Lift force: caused by the shearing effect of the fluid onto the
particle Drew and Lahey (1990).
r r r
Kk , fs = CLs f (u f us ) ( u f )
Lift force usually insignificant compared to drag force except when
the phases separate quickly and near boundaries.

Here Dk is the diffusivity of the species in the mixture of the

species.
Thermodynamic relations an state equations for the phase k are
needed.
When calculating mass transfer the shadow technique from
Spalding is used to update diameter of the dispersed phase.

Solution guidelines
All multiphase calculations:
Start with a single-phase calculation to establish broad flow patterns.
Eulerian multiphase calculations:
Copy primary phase velocities to secondary phases.
Patch secondary volume fraction(s) as an initial condition.
Set normalizing density equal to physical density.
Compute a transient solution.
Use multigrid for pressure.
