Hello,

I am quite new to OF and I am trying to simulate a bubble column. The setting is described in publications of S. Becker who did measurements as well as simulations.

In Pfleger et al. (1999) it is stated that the continuous phase (water) is modelled laminar or turbulent while the dispersed phase (air) is always modelled laminar.

How is it possible in OF to model only one phase turbulent?

Pfleger et al. further conclude that modelling the continuous phase fits experimental data better than modelling it laminar.

I did a simulation modelling all phases laminar and also modelling all phases turbulent. In my solutions only the laminar case shows the expected oscillation of the bubble plume.

why don't there are any oscillations with turbulence ?

I suppose it's quite late for answering, but anyway, I think you should play with the turbulent response coefficient Ct in transportProperties to differentiate the turbulence behaviour of both phases.

Best,

Mat

Hi!!

I'm trying to use the twoPhaseEulerFoam to solve a problem as described on the case1 file (Download files). However, I am not able to get results because deltaT is too small.

Code:
Courant Number mean: 1.76078e-05 max: 0.215443
Max Ur Courant Number = 0.517251
deltaT = 1.8695e-108

However, I'm generating the mesh using the SALOME (tetrahedral - NETGEN) (checkMesh ok). I tested a tetrahedral mesh in the same Gerhard's example and the problem occurred too.
Someone could tell me if the problem is the type of mesh or have another problem in my test case?

Best regards,
Jonas

I think twoPhaseEulerFoam cant solve on tet mesh. You have to generate a hex mesh.

Long time ago I make a very simple test. All the settings are the same expect that one is tet the other is hex. As your expect, the tet one crushed.
