# freefoam-interPhaseChange(1)

Solver for 2 incompressible, isothermal immiscible fluids with phase-change (e.g. cavitation).

## NAME

freefoam-interPhaseChange - Solver for 2 incompressible, isothermal immiscible fluids with phase-change (e.g. cavitation).

## SYNOPSIS

**freefoam interPhaseChange** \[-parallel\] \[-srcDoc\] \[-case *\<dir\>*\] \[-doc\] \[-help\]

## DESCRIPTION

Uses a VOF (volume of fluid) phase-fraction based interface capturing approach. The momentum and other fluid properties are of the "mixture" and a single momentum equation is solved.

The set of phase-change models provided are designed to simulate cavitation but other mechanisms of phase-change are supported within this solver framework.

Turbulence modelling is generic, i.e. laminar, RAS or LES may be selected.
