5.5.3. Interphase Drag for the Mixture Model

In the mixture model, a non-dimensional drag coefficient is defined as follows:

(5–65)

where is the total drag exerted by phase on phase per unit volume.

The mixture density is given by:

(5–66)

and the interfacial area per unit volume is given by:

(5–67)

where is a user-specified mixture length scale.
