Evolves a passive scalar transport equation within one phase of a multiphase simulation. The scalar is considered to be a phase-intensive property; i.e., its value represents an amount per-unit of the phase. In addition to the scalar, the function also writes out the product of the volume fraction and the scalar, as this provides a phase-extensive field which is often more convenient to post-process.

Evolves a passive scalar transport equation within one phase of a multiphase simulation. The scalar is considered to be a phase-intensive property; i.e., its value represents an amount per-unit of the phase. In addition to the scalar, the function also writes out the product of the volume fraction and the scalar, as this provides a phase-extensive field which is often more convenient to post-process.
Most entries are the same as for the scalarTransport
function. Refer to its documentation for details. Entries specific to this function are detailed below. Note that the phase-name will be determined by stripping the extension from the supplied field name.
If alphaPhi
is specified and found in the database then it will be used to transport the field. This is the likely mode of operation if this function is used with Euler-Euler solvers, in which alphaPhi
-like fluxes are available. If alphaPhi
is not found, then a pressure-like equation will be solved in order to construct it so that it exactly matches the time-derivative of the phase volume or mass. This is likely to be necessary in volume-of-fluid solvers where alphaPhi
is not part of the solution procedure. The pressure field name will be required in this case.
Property | Description | Req'd? | Default |
---|---|---|---|
alpha | Name of the volume-fraction field | no | alpha.<phase-name> |
alphaPhi | Name of the phase-flux field | no | alphaPhi.<phase-name> |
p | Name of the pressure field | no | p |
residualAlpha | Small volume fraction used to stabilise the solution | no | rootSmall |
writeAlphaField | Also write out alpha multiplied by the field | no | true |
Example specification for interFoam:
phaseScalarTransport1 { type phaseScalarTransport; libs ("libsolverFunctionObjects.so"); field s.water; p p_rgh; }
Example specification for reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam:
phaseScalarTransport1 { type phaseScalarTransport; libs ("libsolverFunctionObjects.so"); field s.water; alphaPhi alphaRhoPhi.water; rho thermo:rho.water; }
