Full-Eulerian Finite-Difference Simulation of Fluid Flow in Hyperelastic Wavy Channel
Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2010 Fluid flows interacting with deformable wavy channel are simulated by a newly developed full-Eulerian simulation method. A single set of the governing equations for fluid and solid is employed, and a volume-of-fluid (VOF) function is used for describing ...

A Volume of Fluid (VOF) Method for the Simulation of Metallurgical Flows
ISIJ International, 2001 A finite difference numerical method, based on the VOF approach for tracking interface distortions, is presented. It is capable of accurately simulating the fluid flow of multiple immiscible fluids for metallurgical applications. This volume tracking method is based on piecewise linear reconstructions of interfaces, density distributions based on a ...
