Hi,
I am modeling multiphase flow with two phases (water and air). I created a mass source term for my water phase. I also activated gravity in the negative y-direction. When my simulation is finished i cannot see any volume fraction of my water. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

A mass source is just mass, it says nothing about whether that mass is water/air. So of course you don't get any volume fraction.
