Class
    Foam::solvers::incompressibleDriftFlux
 
Description
    Solver module for 2 incompressible fluids using the mixture approach with
    the drift-flux approximation for relative motion of the phases, with
    optional mesh motion and mesh topology changes including adaptive
    re-meshing.
 
    The momentum and other fluid properties are of the "mixture" and a single
    momentum equation is solved with mixture transport modelling in which a
    single laminar, RAS or LES model is selected to model the momentum stress.
 
    Uses the flexible PIMPLE (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and
    pseudo-transient and steady simulations.
 
    Optional fvModels and fvConstraints are provided to enhance the simulation
    in many ways including adding various sources, Lagrangian
    particles, surface film etc. and constraining or limiting the solution.
