Particle detection in VOF-simulations with OpenFOAM
The aim of this work is to improve the particle detection in the phase field of volume of fluid (VOF) simulations included in OpenFOAM. The reliable evaluation of the particle properties is a prerequisite for coupling the VOF method for the primary ...

Complexity Analysis of Bubble Plumes in Power Law Fluids Based on Chaos Theory
ABSTRACT In order to reveal the complexity of the internal flow of bubble plume in power law fluid, the flow characteristics and chaotic characteristics of plume are studied by experiment and theory. The chaotic characteristic parameters (correlation dimension D, K entropy, and Lyapunov exponent λ) of gas velocity under different superficial gas ...

Numerical analysis of the hydrodynamic behaviour of immiscible metallic alloys in twin-screw rheomixing process [PDF]
A numerical analysis by a VOF method is presented for studying the hydrodynamic mechanisms of the rheomixing process by a twin-screw extruder (TSE). The simplified flow field is established based on a systematic analysis of flow features of immiscible ...

Abstract Accurately simulating multiphase flows at low capillary numbers remains challenging due to spurious currents and interface discretization errors. We present a systematic comparison of four volume‐of‐fluid (VOF) solvers within the OpenFOAM framework for pressure‐driven Poiseuille–Bingham flow over grooved surfaces: interFoam with classical ...
