Simulation of singularities and instabilities arising in thin film flow
We present a finite element scheme for nonlinear fourth-order diffusion equations that arise for example in lubrication theory for the time evolution of thin films of viscous fluids. The equations are in general fourth-order degenerate parabolic, but in addition singular terms of second order may occur which model the effects of intermolecular forces or thermocapillarity. Discretizing the arisi...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of wavy falling film flow using VOF method
Surface wave dynamics of vertical falling films under monochromatic-frequency flowrate-forcing perturbations is computed by the direct simulation of Navier–Stokes equations using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method to track free surfaces and the Continuum Surface Force (CSF) model to account for dynamic boundary conditions at free surfaces. The numerical VOF–CSF model is completely formulated, and...
متن کاملSimulations of Surfactant Driven Thin Film Flow
This thesis is intended to fulfill the requirements of the Math and Physics departments at Harvey Mudd College. We begin with a brief introduction to the study of surfactant dynamics followed by some background on the experimental framework our work is related to. We then go through a derivation of the model we use, and explore in depth the nature of the Equation of State (EoS), the relationshi...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Polymer Film Stretching
We present numerical simulations of a film stretching process between two rolls of different temperature and rotational velocity. Film stretching is part of the industrial production of sheet of plastics which takes place after the extrusion process. The goal of the stretching of the sheet material is to rearrange the orientation of the polymer chains. Thus, the final products have more smooth ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Cavitation in Mixed Flow Pump
The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance and three-dimensional behavior of the flow in a mixed flow pump and the way cavitation phenomenon is affected by different parameters such as fluid temperature, pump speed and flow rate. Computational fluid dynamic software FLUENT 6.3 was utilized to simulate the whole flow field of the pump. RNG k-ε model combined with standard wall f...
