Detailed Description

IATE (Interfacial Area Transport Equation) bubble diameter model.

Solves for the interfacial curvature per unit volume of the phase rather than interfacial area per unit volume to avoid stability issues relating to the consistency requirements between the phase fraction and interfacial area per unit volume. In every other respect this model is as presented in the paper:
