This model transfers a dispersed droplet phase to a film phase at a rate
relative to its intersection with a third phase. The third phase is
termed the "surface". It can be enabled in constant/phaseProperties as
follows:
phaseTransfer
(
(droplets and film)
{
type deposition;
droplet droplets;
surface solid;
efficiency 0.1;
}
);
The efficiency is an empirical factor which represents a reduction in
collisions as a result of droplets flowing around the surface phase and
not coalescing on impact.

About OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package released by the OpenFOAM Foundation. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
