Gas entrainment from gaseous supercavities: Insight based on numerical simulation

Air Entrainment Mechanisms from Artificial Supercavities: Insight based on numerical simulations

Using multiphase computational simulations based on the Navier-Stokes equations, we examine the internal gaseous flows of artificially ventilated supercavities. These simulations indicate that air shear layers that develop on the cavity-wall (the air-liquid interface surrounding the cavity) are an important mechanism of air entrainment. This corroborates previous theory developed for toroidal c...

Overview of Direct Numerical Simulation of Particle Entrainment in Turbulent Flows

An overview of removal and re-entrainment of particles in turbulent flows is presented. The procedure for the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the Navier-Stokes equation via a pseudospectral method for simulating the instantaneous fluid velocity field is described. Particle removal mechanisms in turbulent flows in a duct are examined and effects of the near-wall coherent eddies on the parti...

3D numerical simulation of gaseous flows structure in semidetached binaries

The results of numerical simulation of mass transfer in semidetached non-magnetic binaries are presented. We investigate the morphology of gaseous flows on the base of three-dimensional hydrodynamic calculations in interacting binaries of different types (cataclysmic variables and low-mass X-ray binaries). We find that taking into account of a circumbinary envelope leads to significant changes ...

Numerical Simulation of Gaseous Microflows by Lattice Boltzmann Method

This work is concerned with application of the Lattice Boltzmznn Method (LBM) to compute flows in micro-geometries. The choice of using LBM for microflow simulation is a good one owing to the fact that it is based on the Boltzmann equation which is valid for the whole range of the Knudsen number. In this work LBM is applied to simulate the pressure driven microchannel flows and micro lid-driven...
