Initial Values
The Initial Values node adds initial values for the velocity fields for the continuous and dispersed phases, the pressure, and the volume fraction of the dispersed phase that can serve as initial conditions for a transient simulation or as an initial guess for a nonlinear solver.
Initial Values
Enter initial values or expressions in the tables for each component of:
•
Velocity field, continuous phase uc
•
Velocity field, dispersed phase ud
Enter initial values or expressions for:
•
Pressure p
•
Volume fraction, dispersed phase phid
For The Euler–Euler Model, Turbulent Flow Interface, initial values are needed for the turbulence variables. When Mixture is selected as Two-phase turbulence, enter values or expressions for:
•
Turbulent kinetic energy, mixture k
•
Turbulent dissipation rate, mixture ep
When Phase specific is selected as Two-phase turbulence, enter values or expressions for:
•
 Turbulent kinetic energy, continuous phase kc
•
 Turbulent dissipation rate, continuous phase epc
•
 Turbulent kinetic energy, dispersed phase kd
•
 Turbulent dissipation rate, dispersed phase epd
