27 Description
28  IATE (Interfacial Area Transport Equation) bubble diameter model.
29 
30  Solves for the interfacial curvature per unit volume of the phase rather
31  than interfacial area per unit volume to avoid stability issues relating to
32  the consistency requirements between the phase fraction and interfacial area
33  per unit volume. In every other respect this model is as presented in the
34  paper:
