| Essay:HAM assumption for multiphase flow moisture transportSeveral issues are of concern when dealing with multiphase flow moisture transport (vapor, liquid, solid ice). There are several major classes of simplifying assumptions that have commonly been made in the moisture modeling:? the solid phase is fixed and inert, ? some parts of the system are not of interest and do not affect the solution, ? various transport mechanisms can be lumped, and ? local equilibrium exists among the phases. |
