Governing Equations Conservation Equations The Continuity Equation For The Phase Q Can Be Defined As

The document discusses governing equations for numerical modeling of multiphase flows. It presents the continuity equation and momentum balance equation for the phase q. The continuity equation accounts for the time rate of change of density and mass transfer between phases. The momentum balance equation considers terms like pressure gradient, stress tensor, body forces, lift forces, virtual mass forces, and inter-phase forces. A user-defined function is used to model mass interaction between phases.

Conservation equations

The continuity equation for the phase q can be defined as:

m pq m qp Sq
n

qq qq v
t p 1


pq is introduces mass interaction between the p phase and the q phase
where vq is the velocity of the phase q and m
qp defines the mass transfer from the phase q to the other phase p and these mechanism can be specified separately.
, m
A separate user defined function was used to predict mass interaction between the phases. This function was hooked
and compiled with numerical modeling code.

The momentum balance for the phase q yields:

where q is the qth phase stress strain tensor and is defined as :

where q and q are the shear stress and bulk velocity of the phase q, Fq is an external body force, Flift, q is the lift

force, Fvm , q is the virtual mass force, Fvm , q is the virtual mass force and Fvm , q is the virtual mass force. R pq is an

interaction force between phases, v pq is the inter-phase velocity, and p is the pressure of all the phases.
