Incorporation of Line Quantities in the Continuum Description for Multiphase, Multicomponent Bodies with Intersecting Dividing Surfaces .1. Kinematics and Conservation Principles
In this paper, we develop the continuum description for dynamic, multiphase, multicomponent systems with intersecting dividing surfaces, taking into account the contribution of line excess quantities (line mass density, line velocity,...) associated with the common line. Starting with the standard postulates of mechanics, we derive the governing equations for a common line (the species mass balance at the common line, the momentum balance at the common line,...).
