Two phase analysis of sloshing in a rectangular container with Volume of Fluid (VOF) methods

Ocean Engineering, 2013
Abstract Free surface oscillations of a liquid confined in a closed container (sloshing phenomenon) are an important issue when big amounts of liquid are industrially transported. The phenomenon involves two fluids that share a free surface boundary separating them, normally the density of the upper fluid is several orders of magnitude less than the ...

Volume-of-fluid (VOF) simulations of rise of single/multiple bubbles in sheared liquids

Chemical Engineering Science, 2010
Abstract The understanding of the lift force, which governs the lateral migration of bubbles, is important to improve closures for continuum flow models that are used to simulate large-scale dispersed gas–liquid flows. In the present work, the effect of bubble size/shape and more importantly the effect of neighboring bubbles on the magnitude and ...

Optimization of a High Pressure Swirl Injector by Using Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) Method

ASME 2010 10th Biennial Conference on Engineering Systems Design and Analysis, Volume 3, 2010
In this paper, the effects of various geometric parameters of a high pressure swirl Gasoline Direct Injector (GDI) on the injection flow quality are investigated. The two-dimensional axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method were employed for simulation of the formation mechanism of the liquid film inside the ...

The Direct Numerical Simulation of the Rising Gas Bubble With the Volume of Fluid (VOF) Method

Volume 6: Fluids and Thermal Systems; Advances for Process Industries, Parts A and B, 2011
A gas-liquid two phase flow is complicated and it has not been understood well thus far, in spite of extensive investigation. Numerical simulation is a potential approach to understand this phenomenon. Although a number of studies have been conducted to understand the behavior of bubbles on the basis of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), it is ...

A machine learning approach for curvature computation leveraging volume of fluid (VOF) height function

AIP Conference Proceedings
The calculation of the curvature in Volume of Fluid (VOF) methods is still a challenge, and common approaches involve curve or surface fitting based on volume fractions. In this work, we explore an alternative approach for curvature computation in VOF simulations employing machine learning. The neural network establishes a correlation between curvature

Non-dissipative cloud transport in Eulerian grid models by the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method

Atmospheric Environment, 2005
Abstract The formation of clouds is coupled to the vapour saturation condition. Cloud modelling is therefore dramatically disturbed by dilution processes, which are induced by recurrent interpolations on the fixed (Eulerian) grid. The numerical diffusion gives rise to degeneration and premature disappearance of the modelled clouds.

Homogeneous Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) Model for Simulating the Imbibition in Porous Media Saturated by Gas

Energy & Fuels, 2011
Biphasic flow in porous media is of great interest in several areas, such as petroleum and oil recovery, food impregnation, hydrology, and soil science. In this work, the penetration of an external liquid into a porous medium saturated with air, caused by the macroscopic pressure difference, was studied (impregnation).

Improved volume-of-fluid (VOF) model for predictions of velocity fields and droplet lengths in microchannels

Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, 2016
Abstract Accurate measurement of flow in microchannels is imperative to better understand their flow behaviour, which aids in the design of microfluidic devices. In this work, we present an improved VOF model based on smoothing functions that can effectively minimise the issue of spurious velocities, which causes numerical simulations in ...

Simulation of Multiphase Flows in Complex Geometry Using a Hybrid Method Combining the Multi-Fluid and the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) Approaches

Volume 1: Fora, Parts A and B, 2002
A computational method combining the multi-fluid and the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) approaches is presented to simulate industrial multiphase flows in complex geometry. This method is particularly applicable for flows where well-defined interfaces between different phases/fluids co-exist with small-scale multiphase structures.
