Bubble and Foam Module¶
Theory¶
Bubble entrainment, foam transfer rate and burst rate are formulated based on empirical formulas developed in a previous study. Details will be documented in Malej et al. 2023 (in preparation).
Model configuration and input¶
Modify Makefile with
-DFOAM
Specify parameters related to bubble and foam entrainments, etc.
PLOT_INTV_FOAM = <float number> (default: same as PLOT_INTV) BurstRate = <float number> (default: 0.01) MinThick = <float number> (default: 0.01) TransferRate = <float number> (default: 0.1) CdFoam = <float number> (default: 0.5)
An example is provided in
/rip\_2D\_foam/
. The figure below shows the model result from default parameters.
