Can anybody explain to me what is the volume fraction source and how to define it?
is it a volumetric increase over time?

Probably suggest to check out the guide. If it's a mass/volume source of some kind it can be constant (typically) or variable in time.

I wish the guide was useful.
It does not explain it at all.

It is a volume fraction source and not a volume/mass source
it is defined as volume fraction /time

I am also trying to add volume fraction source to interFoam.
I found some definition here, but I don't know if to denote this as a mass source or something else.(replacing `fvOptionName`


Code:
 <fvOptionName>
    {
        type        volumeFractionSource;
        phase       solid;
        phi         phi;
        rho         rho;
        U           U;
        fields      (rho U e);
    }
