Simulation of Free Surface Flows with Surface Tension with ANSYS CFX
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three different test cases involving free surface flows with surface tension were investigated with ANSYS CFX. Transient analyses were performed in all cases. The three cases were: (1) oscillations of a twodimensional cylindrical rod; (2) rise of liquid in a capillary; and (3) rise of an air bubble train through stagnant water. The mesh resolution, timestep, and solver settings required to obtain accurate results for the individual cases were investigated and are reported for the individual cases. Good agreement between the simulation results and results reported in the literature were obtained for the cases studied.

For implementation of the free surface boundary condition, a new subroutine has been introduced to an existing steady 3-D body fitted code. This code was previously written for steady flow simulation in closed ducts. The algorithm used in this subroutine reduces the instability problem according to the free surface wave generation. For code validation, it was applied to two different open cha...

This article describes a 3D CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulation implementation of the stepped planning hull in calm water. The turbulent free surface flow around the stepped planing hull is computed with a RANSE method, using the solver ANSYS-CFX. The turbulence model used is standard k–ε. In order to simulate the disturbed free surface, VOF model is implemented. The CFD model has bee...

Abstract: In this study an algorithm for mold-filling simulation with consideration of surface tension has been developed based on a SOLA VOF scheme. As the governing equations, the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible and laminar flows were used. We proposed a way of considering surface tension in mold-filling simulation. The proposed scheme for surface tension was based on the conti...
