2.3.1 Conservation Equations (Section 16.5.3)

Equation 16.5-8 should be replaced with the following equation:


 {\vec F}_{\rm lift} = - C_l \rho_q \alpha_p (\vec v_q - \vec v_p) \times (\nabla \times \vec v_q) (2.3-1)

where $C_l$ is the lift coefficient, which typically takes a value of 0.5 for inviscid flow. The lift force ${\vec F}_{\rm lift}$ will be added to the right-hand side of the momentum equation for both phases ( ${\vec F}_{{\rm lift},q}=-{\vec F}_{{\rm lift},p}$).
