关于interFoam 中的alphaEqn里面的两个系数cAlpha和icAlpha

  • Y

    版本3.0.x中的interFoam里面的alphaEqn.H line46-54

    // Standard face-flux compression coefficient
surfaceScalarField phic(mixture.cAlpha()*mag(phi/mesh.magSf()));

// Add the optional isotropic compression contribution
if (icAlpha > 0)
{
    phic *= (1.0 - icAlpha);
    phic += (mixture.cAlpha()*icAlpha)*fvc::interpolate(mag(U));
}

    查看了一下源文件， 这两个系数都是用户可以指定的，小弟不太明白，这两个系数的作用的什么？有知道的朋友告诉一下，谢谢！

    在论文DYNAMIC MESHING AROUND FLUID-FLUID INTERFACES WITH APPLICATIONS TO DROPLET TRACKING IN CONTRACTION GEOMETRIES第58页最上部有写cAlpha的作用。

    The cAlpha keyword specified in the file <case>/system/fvSolution is
    a factor that controls the compression of the interface, where 0 corresponds to no
    compression. After solving the volume fluid equation, the density and viscosity are
    modified using the new values of α.
