sourav8016 is on a distinguished road
I want to code this equation in interFoam solver.
\frac{\partial c}{\partial t} +
u\frac{\partial c}{\partial x}+
{(w-w_s)}\frac{\partial c}{\partial z}=
\frac{\partial}{\partial z}\left[ \epsilon_s \frac{\partial c}{\partial z} \right]

where c is the sediment volumetric concentration, w_s is sediment settling velocity defined by
w_s=
\frac{ {(s-1)} g {d_s}^2}{18 \nu} {\left({1-c}\right)}^4

g is gravitional accleration, \nu is kinematic viscosity and d_s is particle diameter and s is relative density of sediment.

\epsilon_s=
4*\frac{\nu_t}{\sigma}

\epsilon_s is sediment diffusivity and
\nu_t is eddy viscosity, \sigma is turbulent prandtl schimdt number.

Any idea how I can code this interFoam?

I was trying to include a cEqn.H file in interFoam solver as

volScalarField epsilonEff
(
"epsilonEff",
4*turbulence->nut()/Prt
);

fvScalarMatrix cEqn
(
fvm::ddt(c)
+ fvm::div(phi, c)
- fvm::laplacian(epsilonEff, c)
);

cEqn.relax();

cEqn.solve();
}

But I don't know how to modify phi and include w_s here as a closuse.

please help me. Thanks in advance.
