ALE-FEM for Two-Phase Flows

An Efficient Multigrid-FEM Method for the Simulation of Liquid-Solid Two Phase Flows

An efficient multigrid-FEM method for the detailed simulation of solid-liquid two phase flows with large number of moving particles is presented. An explicit fictitious boundary method based on a FEM background grid which covers the whole computational domain and can be chosen independently from the particles of arbitrary shape, size and number is used to deal with the interactions between the ...

A Parallelizable Method for Two - Phase Flows

Simulation of End Milling on FEM using ALE Formulation

In end milling, cutting forces and residual stresses need to be precisely predicted in order to improve the quality of the workpiece. Numerical simulation has however not been very successful using the Lagrangian formulation in Finite Element Analysis. This is partly because there is no satisfactory and accurate separation criterion used in the modelling procedure. The results are found to be h...

Implicit FEM-FCT algorithm for compressible flows

The flux-corrected transport (FCT) methodology is generalized to implicit finite element schemes and applied to the Euler equations of gas dynamics. The underlying low-order scheme is constructed by applying scalar artificial viscosity proportional to the spectral radius of the cumulative Roe matrix. All conservative matrix manipulations are performed edge-by-edge which leads to an efficient al...

Comparison of the hyperbolic range of two-fluid models on two-phase gas -liquid flows

In this paper, a numerical study is conducted in order to compare hyperbolic range of equations of isotherm two-fluid model governing on two-phase flow inside of pipe using conservative Shock capturing method. Differential equations of the two-fluid model are presented in two forms (i.e. form I and form II). In forms I and II, pressure correction terms are hydrodynamic and hydrostatic, respecti...
