method solve() of class multiphasesystem

hi,

in the while loop "while (pimple.loop())" of the multiphaseEulerFoam solver is called method solve() on the object "multiphasesystem fluid" like

Code:

while (pimple.loop())       

{                                          

sgsModel->correct();    

fluid.solve();    //HERE

.

.

.

where object fluid was defined before as

Code:

multiphaseSystem fluid(U, phi);

When looking up the definition of method solve() you only get

Quote:

Solve for the mixture phase-fractions.

Source code for solve() also is not provided. It is very important for me to know what is happening in method solve, since I urgently need to know where the mixture phase fractions are stored, what exactly und how it is calculated in method solve.

greetings

Hi Maybee

I looked it up in a random OF version (2.2.0), and if you are looking in the file:

Code:

./applications/solvers/multiphase/multiphaseEulerFoam/multiphaseSystem/multiphaseSystem.C

you will find the implementation of the solution method in the multiphaseSystem.

Kind regards,

Niels

Thx a lot, I totally forgot about the possibility to look in the solver files :D.
