Hello.


In the past few weeks I've been working with hydrodynamics of tanks which are meant for the separation of water and sediment. Currently, I've got the simulation running for two phases using interFoam and (aside from more testing needed for my BCs) it's worked out.


I'm aware there are many ways to approach this problem, the most simple one being driftFluxFoam, but since the there are important changes of the geometry on the 3 directions, I think it's not the best solver to use. Currently, I'm thinking about using other multiphase solvers such as:


  • multiphaseInterFoam
  • multiphaseEulerFoam
  • interMixingFoam
I know of some other custom solvers too.



In simple words, what solver would you recommend (and why)? And if so, is there an article I can base my work on?



Thanks in advance for your help.
