Hi there,

I would like to simulate a problem that involves 2 phases with 2 components in each phase, together with a surface tension force between the phases.

For example when supercritical carbon dioxide comes into contact with oil, you have mass transfer from the CO2 dissolution. At the same time because the CO2 is not fully miscible, surface tension still exists. So you have:
a) in CO2 phase - CO2 component and vaporised oil component
b) in oil phase - liquid oil component and dissolved CO2

I was wondering whether OpenFOAM has any solvers that might be able to solve this problem?

Thanks!
