The Time Dependent with Phase Initialization (
) study is used for time-dependent two-phase flow models that require an initialization of a level set function or phase field function. It adds a
Phase Initialization study step followed by a
Time Dependent study step to the Study node. The
Phase Initialization study step is dedicated to solving for the reciprocal distance to the phase interface.
The Phase Initialization (
) study step is added to the Time Dependent with Phase Initialization study when using two-phase flow or a moving interface. This first step is dedicated to solving for the reciprocal interface distance. In the case of two-phase flow, the distance determined in the initialization step is the distance to the phase interface. The settings for this study are the same as for the
Time Dependent study.
