Solver for Lagrangian tracking of bubbles

vidyadhar · September 19, 2016, 01:28

Hi,

Can anyone tell me, which solver is suited for tracking lagrangian bubbles dispersed in continuous liquid with two-way coupling.

In openfoam 4.0, DPM solver is present, but I understand it solves only solid particles not bubbles. Is it not?

Please clarify.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm doing stuff like that for some time now and I am using sprayFoam.
There you can do coalescence and breakup easily.
Still, I've made several changes to the code to make it work for bubbles rather than liquid or solid particles.

Best regards
Andreas
