twoPhaseEulerFoam: In the limit of phase-fraction->0 the velocity is calculated from a force balance Rather than forcing the dispersed-phase velocity -> the continuous-phase velocity as the phase-fraction -> 0 the velocity is now calculated from a balance of pressure, buoyancy and drag forces. The advantage is now liquid or particles are not carried out of bubble-column of fluidised-beds by the fictitious drag caused by forcing the phase-velocities becoming equal in the limit.

nLimiterIter: Number of iterations during limiter construction 3 (default) is sufficient for 3D simulations with a Courant number 0.5 or so For larger Courant numbers larger values may be needed but this is only relevant for IMULES and CMULES smoothLimiter: Coefficient to smooth the limiter to avoid "diamond" staggering patters seen in regions of low particle phase-fraction in fluidised-bed simulations. The default is 0 as it is not needed for all simulations. A value of 0.1 is appropriate for fluidised-bed simulations. The useful range is 0 -> 0.5. Values larger than 0.5 may cause excessive smearing of the solution.

This formulation provides C-grid like pressure-flux staggering on an unstructured mesh which is hugely beneficial for Euler-Euler multiphase equations as it allows for all forces to be treated in a consistent manner on the cell-faces which provides better balance, stability and accuracy. However, to achieve face-force consistency the momentum transport terms must be interpolated to the faces reducing accuracy of this part of the system but this is offset by the increase in accuracy of the force-balance. Currently it is not clear if this face-based momentum equation formulation is preferable for all Euler-Euler simulations so I have included it on a switch to allow evaluation and comparison with the previous cell-based formulation. To try the new algorithm simply switch it on, e.g.: PIMPLE { nOuterCorrectors 3; nCorrectors 1; nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0; faceMomentum yes; } It is proving particularly good for bubbly flows, eliminating the staggering patterns often seen in the air velocity field with the previous algorithm, removing other spurious numerical artifacts in the velocity fields and improving stability and allowing larger time-steps For particle-gas flows the advantage is noticeable but not nearly as pronounced as in the bubbly flow cases. Please test the new algorithm on your cases and provide feedback. Henry G. Weller CFD Direct
