Greeting everyone,

I'm currently conduct study using twoLiquidMixingFoam to study mixing of liquid. Unfortunately, the solver is non-boussinesq aprroximation. Is there anyone implement boussinesq approx successfully into twoLiquidMixingFoam solver?

I tried modify UEqn file by removing rho term in the equation and multiply with a constantRho, the solver works but the result is incorrect compare to journal study.

Thank You.

You may set the thermophysical properties in a way that is practical identical to the Boussinesq approximation. I did it not for the solver you mentioned, but compared buoyancyBoussinesqPimpleFoam with buoyancyPimpleFoam. They were nearly identical.
