BubbleAlgorithm

Bubble Algorithm in order to capture internal pressure of air/gas entrapments

The BubbleAlgorithm is switched on if BUBBLE_DoTheManagement is different from zero. BUBBLE_DoTheManagement = 1 (original implementation) : BubbleSemiimplicitPressure is applied BUBBLE_DoTheManagement = 2 : BubbleImplicitPressure is applied The Bubble Algorithm clusters the free surfaces by connectivities, computes the volumes of the individual clusters (possibly entrapped also with the geometry) and computes the pressures corresponding to the tracked volume changes. The relevant MESHFREE quantities are
