Detailed Description

Blending method based on piecewise linear functions. Supports the full range of phase fraction space. E.g., from droplets in air, through a segregated regime, to bubbly flow.

This method requires two volume fractions between which the phase is considered to become continuous to be specified for both phases.

Alternatively, these volume fractions can be omitted or replaced with the keyword "none" to represent a phase which cannot become continuous. E.g., a particulate phase.
