Why only one phase fraction needs to be set in the MFIX-TFM solid-phase model setup, compare to Fluent-TFM

Hi, Dr. Dietiker,

Thank you for your response.

I’ve noticed that when using the Schaeffer model in Fluent-TFM, it is still required to set two phase fraction thresholds, unlike in MFIX-TFM where such a threshold is not necessary. Could you provide a more in-depth explanation of this?

Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
