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:
