Development and verification of a combined method of BEM and VOF [PDF]

Journal of Korean navigation and port research, 2005
Recently, various novel numerical models based on Navier-Stokes equation have been developed for calculating wave motions in the sea with coastal or ocean structures. Among those models, Volume Of Fluid (VOF) method might be the most popular one, and it has been used for numerical simulations of wave motions including complicated phenomena of wave ...

Heat Transfer Enhancement in the Microscale: Optimization of Fluid Flow

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Microscale heat transfer deviates from conventional behavior due to scale effects and fluid properties. This review examines single‐phase convection and advanced working fluids, highlighting key mechanisms such as rarefaction, surface effects, and phase interactions, to guide optimized design of high‐performance microchannel heat exchangers.

Investigation of Keel Curvature Effect on the Hydrodynamic Characteristics of a V-Shaped Planing Surface

International Journal of Maritime Technology, 2015
In this paper, three-dimensional two phase turbulent free surface flow is solved by an in-house code. The incompressible Reynolds average Navier-Stocks equations (RANS) with k-ε turbulence model are solved by the finite volume method in the non ...

An Informed Guide to Hydrodynamic Models Accounting for Large Wood and Logjams in Rivers

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.
Large wood numerical modelling in rivers is used to investigate diverse aims, the most frequent being flood hazard and river restoration. The aim of models' application is correlated to the adoption of static or moving LW representation. LW modelling feasibility is affected by data availability, processes included within the model and model calibration.

Microscopic seepage simulation of gas and water in shale pores and slits based on VOF

Open Physics
The microscopic pore-fracture structure and wettability have a significant influence on the two-phase seepage of shale gas and water. Due to the limitation of experimental conditions, the seepage patterns of gas and water in shale pores and slits under ...

Monolithic Framework to Simulate Fluid‐Structure Interaction Problems Using Geometric Volume‐of‐Fluid Method

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, Volume 98, Issue 10, Page 1105-1125, October 2026.
A three‐dimensional fluid‐structure interaction (FSI) framework is developed using the geometric volume‐of‐fluid (VOF) interface capturing method and applied to assess largescale turbulent FSI interactions. The monolithic FSI framework is extensively validated, and despite the discontinuities across the interface, the FSI framework delivers stable and ...

RANS-VOF simulations of breaking waves [PDF]

11th Conference on Computational Methods in Marine Engineering
For decades Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) models have been coupled with the volume of fluid (VOF) method to simulate breaking waves. One of most known studies is the simulation of the Ting and Kirby (1994) experiments by Lin & Liu (1998). This study generally showed promising results but had un-physically high turbulence prior to breaking.

Using Extrapolation Techniques in VOF Methodology to Model Expanding Bubbles

Procedia IUTAM, 2015
A numerical method is presented to study cavity and bubble dynamics. The liquid phase is assumed to be inviscid and incom-pressible and separated from the gas or vacuum phase by a free surface. On the free surface the stress tensor reduces to a spatially constant pressure.

Architecting nano‐Al/HMX/CuO energetic micro‐units unlocks superior interface and highly efficient combustion

InfoMat, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Improving the dispersion of nano‐aluminum is of great importance in explosives and propellants. The spherical Al/HMX/CuO energetic micro‐units were prepared using microchannel technology, which significantly improved the uniformity and dispersion of nano‐Al. It also enhanced the mass and heat transfer efficiency between the fuel and oxidizer components,
