Introduction

This document provides the nomenclature of important variables that are used inside AeroSolved. The nomenclature of the top-level solver is given first, followed by those of the aerosolModel and the aerosolThermo classes.

General AeroSolved definitions

  • continuous: reference to the continuous phase (i.e., the gas/vapor phase in an aerosol)
  • dispersed: reference to the dispersed phase (i.e., the particle phase in an aerosol)
  • U: mixture velocity $\mathbf{u}_m$ [m/s]
  • V: relative velocity of the dispersed phase to the continuous phase [m/s]
  • Y: list of continuous mass fraction fields for each species [-]
  • Z: list of dispersed mass fraction fields for each species [-]
  • M: mass-based number concentration of dispersed phase $M = N /\rho_m$ [#/kg]

Top-level aerosolEulerFoam solver

  • aerosol: reference to the aerosolModel object3
  • dpdt: material time derivative of the pressure field [kg/m/s3]
  • fvOptions: reference to the fv:options object
  • inertIndex: index of the inert species in species lists
  • K: kinetic energy field [m2/s2]
  • MRF: IOMRFZoneList object
  • p: pressure [kg/m/s2]
  • phi: mixture phase flux field [kg/s]
  • phiEffY: list of effective continuous phase flux fields, for each species [kg/s]
  • phiEffZ: list of effective dispersed phase flux fields, for each species [kg/s]
  • psi: compressibility field [s2/m2]
  • rho: mixture density $\rho_m$ [kg/m3]
  • T: mixture temperature field [K]
  • thermo: reference to the aerosolThermo object
  • thermoCont: reference to the rhoAerosolPhaseThermo object belonging to the continuous phase
  • thermoDisp: reference to the rhoAerosolPhaseThermo object belonging to the dispersed phase
  • turbulence: pointer to the compressible::turbulenceModel object

These variables have a local scope in YEqn.H, which is part of the top-level aerosolEulerFoam solver:

  • mut: turbulent viscosity [kg/m/s]
  • mvPhi: reference to the multi-variate convection scheme relating to flux phi
  • mvPhiBrownian: reference to the multi-variate convection scheme relating to flux phiBrownian
  • mvPhiDrift: reference to the multi-variate convection scheme relating to flux phiDrift
  • mvPhiInertial: reference to the multi-variate convection scheme relating to flux phiInertial
  • phiBrownian: reference to the Brownian (additional) drift flux field [kg/s]
  • phiDrift: reference the corrective drift flux field, corresponding to $\mathbf{V}_d$ [kg/s]
  • phiInertial: reference to the inertial drift flux field [kg/s]
  • Yt: sum of all the mass fractions
