Significance of Alpha and Solvers Application -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

January 30, 2011, 04:12	Significance of Alpha and Solvers Application	#1
jolync New Member Jolyn Chuah Join Date: Nov 2010 Posts: 5 Rep Power: 15	May I know what is the significance of alpha in the solver twoPhaseEulerFoam? Is air phase is defined when alpha is 0 whereas water phase is defined when alpha is 1 or vice versa? Is it the same as that defined in one of the tutorials, damBreak case from the interFoam solver, as featured in the user guide? How does the case bubbleColumn in the solver bubbleFoam differ from the same case in twoPhaseEulerFoam solver? Kind assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
