Detailed Description

This diameter model computes the diameter from multiple size group diameters and fractions provided by an associated population balance model.

This model requires the name of the population balance model to be specified, and will trigger construction of said population balance model. The number of groups associated with the phase is also specified here. The sizes/diameters themselves, as well as all models relating to evolution of the size distribution (i.e., coalescence and breakup) are specified for population balance model and not for this diameter model.

Usage

Excerpt from an exemplary phaseProperties dictionary:

diameterModel
{
    type                populationBalance;

    populationBalance   bubbles;

    nGroups             10;
}
