A continuum mechanics approach to two‑phase flow is reviewed. The authors apply an averaging procedure to the exact equations of motion, provide constitutive equations for stresses, pressure differences, and interfacial forces, and analyze the resulting equations. Author: (Author).
Abstract : A continuum mechanics approach to two-phase flow is reviewed. An averaging procedure is discussed and applied to the exact equations of motion. Constitutive equations are supplied and discussed for the stresses, pressure differences and the interfacial force. The nature of the resulting equations is studied. (Author)
