Hello all together

After giving it countless tries to simulate a settling basin where sediment laden water is passing through with the usage of the drift flux model, I want to ask you, how to define the parameters for the model.
On the one hand, the properties of the water need to be specified. But on the other hand, there is the so called phase 2. Is that already the mixture? How to take into account the sediment concentration? Where to include the density of the particles (2650 kg/m3) ? Could someone help me to set the parameters of the models correctly?
I already activated the "density-computation-model" and did all the setting up, but struggle with those last settings.

Thanks a lot!
Chris
