27 Description
28  Inter-particle stress model of Harris and Crighton
29 
30  The stress value takes the following form:
31  \f[
32  \frac{P_s \alpha^\beta}{ \mathrm{max} \left( \alpha_{pack} - \alpha ,
33  \epsilon ( 1 - \alpha ) \right) }
34  \f]
35  Here, \f$\alpha\f$ is the volume fraction of the dispersed phase, and the
36  other values are modelling constants. A small value \f$\epsilon\f$ is used
37  to limit the denominator to ensure numerical stability.
