Simulate single phase flow with multi-phase solvers

Hello everyone
I have a simple weird question:
can I simulate a single phase flow problem in a multi-phase solver? for example, can I run cavity problem (considering turbulence) with multiphaseEulerFoam solver? I know this problem can be solved by single phase solvers, but I want to know can I simulate this with multi-phase solvers or not.
Thank.

Elia

For those who have this question, I simulate it and it's results were similar to the results of the icoFoam solver. so you can simulate single phase problems with multi-phase solvers.
