Hi, everybody.
Usually, for many solvers, in "createFields.H", the face-flux is created by including the header file "createPhi.H". For compressible flows, the header "compressibleCreatePhi.H" is used instead. However, I observed that in the solver "cavitatingFoam", a third header named "createPhiv.H" is used. I cannot understand the difference between "phi" and "phiv". Does anyone has an idea? Thank you very much.
