A number of improvements have been made to the population balance phase
change drift model.
- The model now checks the ordering of the phase pairs and changes the
sign of the drift rate accordingly.
- The phase change mass flux and weights are calculated for each
velocity group, so the drift rate and phase change mass flux should be
consistent for each velocity group.
- By default the phase change mass flux is distributed between the size
groups based on the interfacial area of each group. For backward
compatibility number weighting can be enabled with a new
"numberWeighted" option.
The model now requires the user to provide a list of phase pairs in the
usual parenthesised form, rather than using the name. For example:
phaseChange
{
pairs ((gas and liquid));
}
