    reactingEulerFoam, twoPhaseEulerFoam: Reinstated interfacial pressure-work · ad476af9
    Henry Weller authored
    Added the interfacial pressure-work terms according to:
    
    Ishii, M., Hibiki, T.,
    Thermo-fluid dynamics of two-phase flow,
    ISBN-10: 0-387-28321-8, 2006
    
    While this is the most common approach to handling the interfacial
    pressure-work it introduces numerical stability issues in regions of low
    phase-fraction and rapid flow deformation.  To alleviate this problem an
    optional limiter may be applied to the pressure-work term in either of
    the energy forms.  This may specified in the
    "thermophysicalProperties.<phase>" file, e.g.
    
    pressureWorkAlphaLimit 1e-3;
    
    which sets the pressure work term to 0 for phase-fractions below 1e-3.
    
    For particularly unstable cases a limit of 1e-2 may be necessary.
