Hi all,

I am trying to add variable source terms in the twoPhaseEulerFoam. However I am unable to understand the various terms of the momentum equation.

I am trying to add two force terms fsid and fl in the momentum equation. However don't know where to add the terms. Could somebody explain what the bold terms physically mean? I also cannot find the laplacian term for viscous stresses.

Thanks and regards,
Shantanu

Did you manage to understand the equations? where's the viscous stress term?
