Abstract

This paper studies governing equations describing the turbulent fluid mixing behavior effectively. The goal is to propose a closure for compressible multiphase flow models with transport and surface tension, which satisfy the boundary conditions at the mixing zone edges, the conservation requirements, and an entropy inequality constraint. Implicitness of positivity for the entropy of averaging requires entropy inequality as opposed to conservation of entropy for microphysically adiabatic processes.
