Setting Up the Phase Interaction
Using the Multiphase Interaction model, you can define the interaction between the oil phase and the particle phase.
When you create a phase interaction, you select the continuous phase first, and then the dispersed phase. When you select the dispersed phase, you also choose the phase interaction type. In this simulation, the continuous phase is Oil, the dispersed phase is Particles, and the phase interaction type is Continuous-Dispersed Topology.
To define the phase interaction:
- In the Suspension continuum, right-click the node and select .
The initial volume fractions are 0.45 for the oil phase and 0.55 for the
particle phase. The mixture is initially at rest.
-
Select the node and set the following properties:
Node Property Setting Value 0.45 Value 0.55 - Save the simulation.
