Numerical Study on an Interface Compression Method for the Volume of Fluid Approach
Many thermohydraulic issues about the safety of light water reactors are related to complicated two-phase flow phenomena. In these phenomena, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis using the volume of fluid (VOF) method causes numerical diffusion ...

Coupling non-local rheology and volume of fluid (VOF) method: a finite volume method (FVM) implementation [PDF]
Additional to a behavior switching between solid-like and liquid-like, dense granular flows also present propagating grain size-dependent effects also called non-local effects. Such behaviors cannot be efficiently modeled by standard rheologies such as µ(

Parabolic interface reconstruction for 2D volume of fluid methods [PDF]
For capillary driven flow the interface curvature is essential in the modelling of surface tension via the imposition of the Young--Laplace jump condition. We show that traditional geometric volume of fluid (VOF) methods, that are based on a piecewise linear approximation of the interface, do not lead to an interface curvature which is convergent under

Improvement of a Simple Coupled VOF with LS (S-CLSVOF) Method
In this study, an efficient conversion algorithm of level set function [Formula: see text] from volume fraction [Formula: see text] is developed. This method makes the calculation of [Formula: see text] easier than the conventional CLSVOF method, and the

Adjoint complement to the volume-of-fluid method for immiscible flows [PDF]
The paper is concerned with an adjoint complement to the Volume-of-Fluid (VoF) method for immiscible two-phase flows, e.g. air and water, which is widely used in marine engineering due to its computational efficiency. The particular challenge of the primal and the corresponding adjoint VoF-approach refers to the sharp interface treatment featuring ...

Methods for warming intravenous fluid in small volumes [PDF]
Laboratory experiments were performed to determine warming rates of albumin 5% at room temperature and human packed red blood cells (PRBCs) at 4 degrees C in small volumes. Four methods used in clinical practice to warm volumes appropriate for neonates were studied.The fluids were warmed either by infusion through a fluid warmer with temperature ...

A volume of fluid method for simulating fluid/fluid interfaces in contact with solid boundaries [PDF]
In this paper, we present a novel approach to model the fluid/solid interaction forces in a direct solver of the Navier-Stokes equations based on the volume of fluid interface tracking method. The key ingredient of the model is the explicit inclusion of the fluid/solid interaction forces into the governing equations. We show that the interaction forces
