Full-Eulerian Finite-Difference Simulation of Fluid Flow in Hyperelastic Wavy Channel
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 ...

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 ...

A Volume of Fluid (VOF) Method for the Simulation of Metallurgical Flows
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 ...

Numerical Prediction of Ship Resistance Based on Volume of Fluid Implicit Multi-Step Method
The Volume of Fluid (VOF) method is used in two-phase fluid flow problems of ship hydrodynamic calculations, to capture the motion and distribution of the gas–liquid free surface. To ensure solution stability and accuracy, numerical simulations typically

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 ...

Computational fluid dynamics applied to gas-liquid contactors. [PDF]
In this paper a `hierarchy of models¿ is discussed to study the fluid dynamic behaviour of gas-liquid bubble columns. This `hierarchy of models¿ consists of a Eulerian-Eulerian two fluid model, a Eulerian-Lagrangian discrete bubble model and a Volume ...

Numerical investigation of air-entrainment in skimming flow over stepped spillways
As a widely used flood energy dissipator, the stepped spillway can significantly dissipate the kinetic or hydraulic energy due to the air-entrainment in skimming flow over the steps.

A suitable parametrization to simulate slug flows with the Volume-Of-Fluid method [PDF]
Diffuse–interface methods, such as the Volume-Of-Fluid method, are often used to simulate complex multiphase flows even if they require significant computation time.
