Viscous Models Comparison in Water Impact of Twin 2D Falling Wedges Simulation by Different Numerical Solvers
Authors
Abstract:
In this paper, symmetric water entry of twin wedges is investigated for deadrise angle of 30 degree. Three numerical simulation of a symmetric impact, considering rigid body dynamic equations of motion in two-phase flow is presented. The two-phase flow around the wedges is solved by Finite Element based on Finite Volume method (FEM-FVM) which is used in conjunction with Volume of Fluid (VOF) scheme in ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS CFX and Phase Field scheme in COMSOL Multiphysics. The method and scheme of simulation are validated by experimental data for geometry with one wedge. The dynamic mesh, mesh motion and moving mesh models are used to simulate dynamic motion of the wedges in ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS CFX and COMSOL Multiphysics, respectively. The vertical velocity and pressure coefficient versus time are determined and comparisons of the computed mentioned parameters against experimental data are performed. The eight characteristics effects of fluid flow are investigated till 0.25 second after wedges falling including impact event. It is demonstrated that the ANSYS Fluent and k-ε were the best software and viscous model, respectively.

Numerical Models of Water Impact
This paper presents a numerical method for studying water impact of a two-dimensional body of arbitrary cross-section. The global simulation procedure based on the boundary element method is constructed. The attention is focused on the computational description of the jet flow in the framework of a potential flow assumption. The proposed computational model makes the numerical analysis more sta...
full textNumerical Simulation of Mixing in Viscous - Fingering
Mixing of two fluids in viscously unstable displacements is far from being fully understood. It is not known how mixing efficiency depends on the viscosity contrast between the fluids, especially for adevction-dominated flows (Peclet number Pe > 103). It is well known that when a less viscous fluid displaces a more viscous fluid, the displacement front is unstable and leads to the formation of ...
