This paper reports a preliminary 3D numerical study of submerged oil spilling from a damaged Double Hull Tanker (DHT) using a VOFbased multiphase flow solver within the framework of the open-source CFD package OpenFOAM. In order to reflect the different features of two typical oil spilling scenarios, i.e. grounding and collision, two cases with spilling holes being located on the bottom and sid...

The flow around a beveled flat plate model with an asymmetric 25 degrees trailing edge with three rounding radii is analyzed using a Navier-Stokes based open source software package OpenFOAM in order to predict the aeroacoustic properties of the models. A Large Eddy Simulation with a dynamic Smagorinsky and implicit model are used as closure model for the flow solver, and are compared regarding...

RichardsFoam2 is an updated version of the OpenFOAM R © solver RichardsFoam, presented in Orgogozo et al., Comput. Phys. Commun. 2014. The new features are the following: (i) The direct handling of fully heterogeneous porous media, with all the van Genuchten parameters defined as spatially varying scalar fields. (ii) The computation of the density of water flux at each face of the mesh cells, w...

A new algorithm for calculating intermolecular pair forces in Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations on a distributed parallel computer is presented. The Arbitrary Interacting Cells Algorithm (AICA) is designed to operate on geometrical domains defined by an unstructured, arbitrary polyhedral mesh, which has been spatially decomposed into irregular portions for parallelisation. It is intended for ...

The behaviour of fluid flowing past a RS:X Racing 66 windsurfing fin at different angles of attack was studied both computationally and experimentally. This was achieved by creating a three dimensional computational model of the fin, which was both used to produce a physical model for experimental testing, and as the basis for analysis using the fluid analysis program, OpenFOAM. The experimenta...

In this study, a three-dimensional numerical simulation of the wind flow and pollutant transport in street canyons is carried out by a new specific solver, which is developed and coupled into an open source CFD tool box, the OpenFOAM package. The new model has been applied to study the effect of roof shapes and building heights on the flow patterns and pollutant transports in the street canyons...

Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are carried out using OpenFOAM to investigate the canopy created velocity inflection in the wake development of a large wind turbine array. Simulations are performed for two cases with and without forest separately. Results of the simulations are further compared to clearly show the changes in the wake and turbulence structure due to the forest. Moreover, the actual...
