Summary0003936: The implemented Weber Number (We) in the IATE model should be a function of Turbulent Fluctuation Velocity, Ut
Description1 Foam::tmp<Foam::volScalarField> Foam::diameterModels::IATEsource::We() const
2 {
3 return
4 otherPhase().rho()*sqr(Ur())*phase().d()/sigma();
5 }

The returned We in IATEsource.C seems be a function of Relative Velocity, Ur, however in the actual reference model it should be a function of Turbulent Fluctuation Velocity, Ut. In general, Ut is generally used in the We number. Though numerically it does not make a huge difference for a specific case shown in the uploaded screenshot below, the correct form should be implemented for lower We cases.
Steps To Reproduce1 Foam::tmp<Foam::volScalarField> Foam::diameterModels::IATEsource::We() const
2 {
3 return
4 otherPhase().rho()*sqr(Ut())*phase().d()/sigma(); //ebicer
5 }

The current implementation is exactly according to the specification provided by the sponsor of the project. However as you point out the turbulent eddy impaction term should use the turbulent Weber number not the relative velocity Weber number which is appropriate for bubble breakup due to shearing off, according to

I will refer this proposed change to the sponsor.
