[Description:]
|
|
|
|
An effective gravitational source term, {gravityEff}, that is necessery to drive the flow only in
|
|
case of periodic box simulations. This source term is added to the momentum equation. In case of
|
|
simulating periodic boxes with assuming "Homogenous no flow condition" we will have:
|
|
|
|
:c,image(Eqs/otherForceModels_gravityEff_pic1.jpg)
|
|
|
|
This equation depicts that in "no flow consition" static pressure gradient balances the mixture weight.
|
|
Therefore, to derive the flow in the periodic box simulations, a dynamic pressure gradien is defined as,
|
|
|
|
:c,image(Eqs/otherForceModels_gravityEff_pic2.jpg)
|
|
|
|
If one replaces the static pressure gradient of the fluid momentum equation with,
|
|
|
|
:c,image(Eqs/otherForceModels_gravityEff_pic3.jpg)
|
|
|
|
The fluid momentum equation solved in case of periodic box simulations will be,
|
|
|
|
:c,image(Eqs/otherForceModels_gravityEff_pic4.jpg)
|
|
|
|
The {gravityEff} source term is the third term in the RHS of the momentum equation. Note that
|
|
the gravitational body force of the fluid momentum equation is considered with this source term.
|
|
|
|
In the basic implementation of {gravityEff}, first we calculate the density of the mixture and then
|
|
the source term is calculated based on the third term in the RHS of the momentum equation.
