Eulerian multiphase modeling gives you the capability to simulate interactions
between continuous or disperse fields. Here, the carrier field has to be a fluid and
the dispersed field should be fluid (fluid, gas, vapour, …). Applications include
mist catchers, cyclone separators, and static mixture simulations.
Granular multiphase modeling gives you the capability to simulate interactions
between continuous or solid disperse fields. Here, the carrier field has to be a
fluid and the dispersed field should be solid medium.
From the Flow ribbon, click the Physics tool.
Figure 1.
Under the Physics models settings, change the flow radio button to
Multiphase.
Change the Multifluid type to Eulerian or
Granular.
Select a eulerian or granular material model from the drop-down menu or click
Material Library to create, edit, and manage custom
material models.
After setting up the disperse multiphase physics, you have
the option to set the carrier fluid volume fraction in all inlet and outlet (backflow
condition) boundaries. Figure 2.
You can also define separate inlet definitions for both phases by turning on
Phasic inflow. Figure 3.
In addition, you can select the carrier volume fraction as a variable
when defining initial conditions in the Solution ribbon. Figure 4.
