Oh right, sorry for the misinterpretation.
But otherwise, DDt(p) != DDt(p_rgh) owing to the spatial cpt of DDt(..),
but presumably this latter is assumed
to be much smaller than the value of...

In p(tot) = pd + p0 + rho (g . z),
p0 = 0 and 'vector' g = (0, 0, -g), which accounts for the sign.

Hello Gucong,
the expression looks like a variation on the original (circa OF17) but I think the same reasoning/derivation still applies, but now of course it appears the 'dynamic' and 'static'...

Hello there,

1) but the source terms it references are located on the RHS of the given
equation in the following canonical manner

L[U] = SP + SU

(where L is some differential operator and...

By way of example, in

D[ alpha ]/Dt = rho * alpha

rho < 0 : treated implicitly i.e. reinforces diagonal coefficient of alpha,
rho > 0 : treated explicitly

which informs the handling of...

Ok now I understand, I think you appear to have overlooked the factor "alpha1" that will multiply 'Sp'
in fvm::Sp (Sp, alpha1) cf. MULESTemplates.C where the matrix equation to be solved is:

yes, what you write looks correct, must've composed the original in
haste or late at night (!)

I see now I made a mistake in the identification of dgdt it should be:

dgdt = { ( psi2 / rho2) - (psi1 / rho1) } DpDt

The RHS of (4) can now be written as:

RHS = - ( alpha1 * psi1 / rho1)...

Hello there,

My understanding though is that discretization is applied to
the conserved form of the phase fraction equation for alpha1

dgdt source term in alpha equation

Just to recap before I make an observation about the code details we have the
following equations for the 2 phase mixture:

rho (mixture density) = alpha1 * rho1 + alpha2 * rho2 ......(1)

Mass...
