Class
    Foam::multiphaseMixture
 
Description
    Incompressible multi-phase mixture with built in solution for the
    phase fractions with interface compression for interface-capturing.
 
    Derived from transportModel so that it can be unsed in conjunction with
    the incompressible turbulence models.
 
    Surface tension and contact-angle is handled for the interface
    between each phase-pair.
