HZDR Multiphase Addon for OpenFOAM

The HZDR multiphase addon contains additional code for the open-source CFD software OpenFOAM, released by The OpenFOAM Foundation. The developments are dedicated to the numerical simulation of multiphase flows, in particular to the multi-field two-fluid model (Euler-Euler method). Within the OpenFOAM library the multiphaseEulerFoam framework is used for this type of simulation. The addon contains a modified solver named HZDRmultiphaseEulerFoam with the full support of the HZDR baseline model set for polydisperse bubbly flows. In addition a solver dedicated to a hybrid modelling approach (dispersed and resolved interfaces, Meller, Schlegel and Lucas, 2021) named cipsaMultiphaseEulerFoam is provided with the addon. This solver has an interface to the multiphaseEulerFoam framework and utilizes all available interfacial models of it.
