If divU is valid the velocity divergence is included in the pcorr equation.
This simplifies the logic in multiphase moveMesh functions supporting
incompressible (with or without mass sources) and compressible fluids.
The mixture compressibility/density is now included in CorrectPhi for
compressible mixtures, consistent with the compressibility handling in the
pressure equation. This improves consistency, robustness and convergence of the
pcorr equation.
Flux correction is now applied if either the topology changed or the mesh is
moving and correctPhi is true. This strategy allows moving mesh cases without
topology change to be run without any change to the fluxes which is appropriate
for solid-body motion of the entire domain or a rotating sub-domain with NCC.
to provide the old-time absolute flux. This avoids possible
pressure-velocity-flux decoupling (staggering) within the MRF region using
ddtCorr to better couple the velocity and flux fields.
This change means that even if the Courant number is zero, the time step
is adjusted based on maximum time step settings and/or constraints
specified by active fvModels. If none of these additional constraints
are present then adjustment is deactivated.
This change lets the solver be looked up from the region database, so
that aspects of the solution algorithm can be accessed by
functionObjects and fvModels and similar. For example, a fluid solver
could be looked up as follows:
const solvers::fluid& s =
mesh().lookupObject<solvers::fluid>(solver::typeName);
executed with foamRun for single region simulations of foamMultiRun for
multi-region simulations. Replaces multiphaseInterFoam and all the
corresponding tutorials have been updated and moved to
tutorials/modules/incompressibleMultiphaseVoF.
incompressibleMultiphaseVoF is derived from the multiphaseVoFSolver which adds
multiphase capability to the VoFSolver base-class used as the basis of all
two-phase and multiphase VoF solvers.
Class
Foam::solvers::incompressibleMultiphaseVoF
Description
Solver module for the solution of multiple incompressible, isothermal
immiscible fluids using a VOF (volume of fluid) phase-fraction based
interface capturing approach, with optional mesh motion and mesh topology
changes including adaptive re-meshing.
The momentum and other fluid properties are of the "mixture" and a single
momentum equation is solved.
A mixture approach for momentum transport is provided in which a single
laminar, RAS or LES model is selected to model the momentum stress.
Uses the flexible PIMPLE (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and
pseudo-transient and steady simulations.

Much of the VoF functionality, particularly relating to momentum solution, is
independent of the number of phases and it is useful to hold this generic VoF
data and functionality in an abstract base-class and derive twoPhaseVoFSolver
and multiphaseVoFSolver from it, adding two-phase and multiphase functionality
respectively.
executed with foamRun for single region simulations of foamMultiRun for
multi-region simulations. Replaces interFoam and all the corresponding
tutorials have been updated and moved to tutorials/modules/incompressibleVoF.
Both incompressibleVoF and compressibleVoF solver modules are derived from the
common two-phase VoF base-class solvers::VoFSolver which handles the
complexities of VoF interface-compression, boundedness and conservation with
2nd-order schemes in space and time using the semi-implicit MULES limiter and
solution proceedure. This maximises code re-use, improves readability and
simplifies maintenance.
Class
Foam::solvers::incompressibleVoF
Description
Solver module for for 2 incompressible, isothermal immiscible fluids using a
VOF (volume of fluid) phase-fraction based interface capturing approach,
with optional mesh motion and mesh topology changes including adaptive
re-meshing.
The momentum and other fluid properties are of the "mixture" and a single
momentum equation is solved.
Either mixture or two-phase transport modelling may be selected. In the
mixture approach a single laminar, RAS or LES model is selected to model the
momentum stress. In the Euler-Euler two-phase approach separate laminar,
RAS or LES selected models are selected for each of the phases.
Uses the flexible PIMPLE (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and
pseudo-transient and steady simulations.
Optional fvModels and fvConstraints are provided to enhance the simulation
in many ways including adding various sources, Lagrangian
particles, surface film etc. and constraining or limiting the solution.
