Fluid Equations
===============

We define the following fluid variables:

:math:`\rho_g = ` fluid density (assumed to be constant in the absence of reactions)

:math:`\varepsilon_g = ` volume fraction of fluid (accounts only for displacement of fluid by particle, does not account for the EB walls)

:math:`U_g = ` fluid velocity

:math:`p_g = ` fluid pressure

:math:`tau = ` viscous stress tensor

:math:`g = ` gravitational acceleration 

:math:`\beta_p = ` drag coefficient associated with a particle

:math:`V_p = ` velocity associated with a particle

Below are the governing equations for the fluid:
