Hi All,

I'm running a twoPhaseEulerFoam case using 1DV ( just 1 grid in x and z direction, but in y direction I'm using 200 grids) and find something interesting:
The mass of particle phase is not conserved basically. After Initialization, the volume averaged fraction is 0.198, after 400s' running, the volume averaged fraction becomes about 0.244, apparently, the mass of dispersed phase is not conserved.

In the above case, I'm using OF-1.7.1, I've turned on the PackingLimter, and the alphaEx=0.62, I've set g0=0, and turned the kinetic theory on.

I guess my question is what do you think the problem is? Could somebody explain something about the packingLimiter?

Thanks a lot!
