Dear Group

The bubble column test case in tutorials was carried out with twoPhaseEulerFoam solver.

With turbulence off( set in transportProperties file) , all went well. But if I turn turbulence on, the following messages appeared, and the execution aborted

I also found that, the max phase fraction alpha>>1 see the message above.

I have read the thesis of Henrik Rusche.With the modified form of phase fraction equation, the problem is avoid. why it occured in my simulaiton.
Some things were omitted?

Any reply is appreciated!

Thanks, su junwei

could anyone know how handle this question?~

It is quite simple: the turbulence model in twoPhaseEulerFoam is very simple, and not ideal to manage systems with phase separation.

You will need to implement a better model (see literature).
