Multiphase modeling employs the notion of interpenetrating continua. Although phases are mixed at length scales much larger than molecular, they are also assumed to be mixed at length scales smaller than you want to resolve.
Thus, each phase is assumed to be present in principle in each control volume, and
assigned a volume fraction equal to the fraction of the control volume occupied by
that phase. This variable appears as <fluid>.Volume Fraction
in the results file. The variable <fluid>.Conservative Volume
Fraction
is also available but should not usually be used for
postprocessing. The conservative volume fraction is used by the CFX-Solver; it may
exceed 1 and may not sum to unity over all fluids during the solution. However,
these criteria are enforced in a converged solution.
