Summary0003977: volume fraction of dispersed phase in drag model Ergun
DescriptionThe definition of CdRe for the Ergun drag model is correct only for one dispersed phase, and wrong for more than one.
In lines 67-75 of Ergun.C it is computed as

    return
        (4.0/3.0)
       *(
            150
           *max(1 - continuous, dispersed.residualAlpha())
           /max(continuous, continuous.residualAlpha())
          + 1.75
           *interface_.Re()
        );

The numerator of the fraction in the first term of the sum should be the volumetric fraction of the dispersed phase, which is different from (1-continuous) when there are multiple dispersed phases.
