Interface Physics

Available interface physics types and their configuration.

capillaryInterface

Partitioned p-U coupling of two immiscible incompressible fluids across a sharp, mesh-tracked interface with constant surface tension.

defaultInterface

Generic pass-through interface without interface physics: couples a scalar field across two region patches through the generic regionCoupledScalarJump / regionCoupledScalarFlux boundary conditions.

fsiInterface

Partitioned fluid-structure interaction interface: fluid traction drives the solid displacement, the solid displacement drives the fluid mesh motion.

heatTransferInterface

Conjugate heat transfer interface: temperature continuity (with an optional constant jump coefficient) and heat flux continuity, coupled partitioned through the T boundary conditions.

massTransferInterface

Phase-change (evaporation/condensation) mass transfer across a sharp liquid-vapour interface, driven by the heat-flux imbalance at saturation temperature.
