This paper presents an all-Mach method for two-phase inviscid flow in the presence of surface tension. A modified version Hartens–Lax–van Leer Contact (HLLC) solver is developed and combined first time with a widely used volume-of-fluid (VoF) method: compressive interface capturing scheme arbitrary meshes (CICSAM). novel combination yields both HLLC shock as well accurate liquid–gas tracking ch...

in this paper a novel numerical approach is presented for solving the transient incompressible fluid flow problems with free surfaces in generalized two-dimensional curvilinear coordinate systems. solution algorithm is a combination of implicit real-time steps and explicit pseudo-time steps. governing fluid flow equations are discretized using a collocated finite-volume mesh. convective terms a...

This article presents a complementary experimental and computational investigation of the effect of viscosity and flowrate on the dynamics of drop formation in the dripping mode. In contrast to previous studies, numerical simulations are performedwith two popular commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) packages, CFX and FLOW-3D, both of which employ the volume of fluid (VOF) method. Compa...

Volume of fluid (VOF) method is a sharp interface employed for simulations two phase flows. Interface in VOF usually represented using piecewise linear line segments each computational grid based on the volume fraction field. While cartesian coordinates conserve mass exactly, existing algorithms do not show machine-precision conservation axisymmetric coordinate systems. In this work, we propose...

The rise and deformation of a gas bubble in an otherwise stationary liquid contained in a closed, right vertical cylinder is investigated using a modified volume-of-fluid (VOF) method incorporating surface tension stresses. Starting from a perfectly spherical bubble which is initially at rest, the upward motion of the bubble in a gravitational field is studied by tracking the liquid–gas interfa...

Abstract Coupled Volume of Fluid and Level Set method inherits the advantages VOF methods, takes function as main body to simulate fluid motion interface, corrects normal direction interface through function, so effectively overcome shortcomings two methods. The numerical simulation example multi vortex shear flow field shows that this can ensure better accuracy moving higher calculation effici...

In the present study we propose a charge-conservative scheme to solve twophase electrohydrodynamic (EHD) problems using the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method. EHD problems are usually simplified by assuming that the fluids involved are purely dielectric (insulators) or purely conducting. Gases can be considered as perfect insulators but pure dielectric liquids do not exist in nature and insulating l...

The Moment-of-Fluid(MoF)methodis an extension ofpopular Volume-ofFluid(VoF)techniquefor trackingmaterialinterfaceinmulti-materialfluidflows. VoFmethods trackthe cell-wise material volumes anduse these data for reconstructingtheinterfacesinmixedcell. TheMoFmethodgoes one stepfurther and, in additional to the volumes,keeps trackofthe cell-wise material centroids;this approachprovides sufficiently...
