Hello I am a new user of OpenFoam, I want to use it to simulate additive manufacturing (Selective Laser Melting SLM), I have started to study OF and simulate some tutorials but I find it difficult to adapt it to the process of additive manufacturing (Powder bed, laser displacement, particle fusion...). I need your assistance, Thank you in advance
You can look at FSI solvers in OpenFOAM FOAMEXTEND version. If you have basic knowledge of OpenFOAM utilities, you can check CFD-Online Forum for more details about your problem.
To capture sharp interface between two phases, something called "compression velocity" is applied. This compression velocity contains a constant (cAlpha) and that decides dispersion between phases.
I didn't get that. But if you are asking about tutorial case availability in OpenFOAM, it doesn't come with installation. But you can follow my VoF tutorial on this youtube channel to setup the case.

Hello can you share the case setup in multiphaseEulerFoam?
In these three cases, which one is the correct representation of reality?
case1
Which solvers are you using for each simulations? Interesting results
interfoam and multiphaseeulerfoam
what is cAlpha
Dear,
How can I modifity cAlpha in MultiphaseEulerFoam? In fvSolution, fvSchemes?.
Best regards,
Roberto

@@DDFluids Thank you for your quick reply. I will look at it,

@@DDFluids Thank you very much! What is the name of related source codes?
