## 8.1. Model Validity

Unlike in an Eulerian multiphase calculation, the fraction of volume taken by the particles is not included in the continuous phase calculation. This means that the model is only valid for quite low volume fractions. If the volume fraction of particles is calculated, then it can show the reliability of the model. Indeed, in cases where the model is unreliable, the calculated volume fraction of particles may be greater than one.
