A typical three dimensional fluid flow model solves the The two-equation k-ε model is used to simulate the continuity equation and Navier Stokes equations for turbulence. Multiphase fluid flow is numerically simulated incompressible Newtonian fluids, which are based on with a Lagrangian-Eulerian approach, an Eularian-Eulerian conserving mass (one equation) and momentum (three approach and the Volume Of Fluid (VOF) method. The equations) at every point in a computational domain.[1, 2] simulation can predict inclusion trajectories,
