Download or read book Small Scale Modeling and Simulation of Incompressible Turbulent Multi Phase Flow written by Stéphane Vincent and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides basic and recent research insights concerning the small scale modeling and simulation of turbulent multi-phase flows. By small scale, it has to be understood that the grid size for the simulation is smaller than most of the physical time and space scales of the problem. Small scale modeling of multi-phase flows is a very popular topic since the capabilities of massively parallel computers allows to go deeper into the comprehension and characterization of realistic flow configurations and at the same time, many environmental and industrial applications are concerned such as nuclear industry, material processing, chemical reactors, engine design, ocean dynamics, pollution and erosion in rivers or on beaches. The work proposes a complete and exhaustive presentation of models and numerical methods devoted to small scale simulation of incompressible turbulent multi-phase flows from specialists of the research community. Attention has also been paid to promote illustrations and applications, multi-phase flows and collaborations with industry. The idea is also to bring together developers and users of different numerical approaches and codes to share their experience in the development and validation of the algorithms and discuss the difficulties and limitations of the different methods and their pros and cons. The focus will be mainly on fixed-grid methods, however adaptive grids will be also partly broached, with the aim to compare and validate the different approaches and models.
Download or read book Towards Large scale Simulations of Two phase Flows with Moving Contact Lines in Complex Geometries written by Sheng Wang and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Predictive simulation of two-phase flows with moving contact lines is challenging due to their inherent multi-physics and multi-scale nature. Directly simulating such flows incurs an enormous computational cost due to the widely disparate scales at the contact line. Moreover, simulations of viscosity-dominated two-phase flows with moving contact lines are often reported to be mesh-dependent due to the diverging viscous stress at the contact point. This dissertation addresses the above simulation issues and by building a numerical framework to enable large-scale 3D simulations of two-phase flows in complex geometries. By analyzing the weak form of the Navier-Stokes equations for a control volume adjacent to a wall with moving contact line, two unclosed terms are identified: a sub-grid scale (SGS) surface tension force and an SGS viscous force. A closure for the SGS surface tension force is first proposed and tested in a numerical framework for simulating two-phase flows with contact lines. This framework combines a conservative level set method to capture the interface and a conservative cut-cell immersed boundary method to handle complex geometries. Detailed verification tests confirm that simulations using this framework are discretely conservative, accurate, and robust. Secondly, a physics-based closure is derived for the SGS viscous force. Simulations these two SGS models are verified to be mesh-independent and physically accurate across a number of viscosity-dominated two-phase flows, including drop spreading on a horizontal plane and drop sliding down an inclined plane. Finally, the present approach is applied in the study of drop-fiber interactions and jet-wall interactions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the maiden volume in a new series devoted to lectures delivered through the annual seminars “Short Courses on Multiphase Flow,” held primarily at ETH Zurich continuously since 1984. The Zurich short courses, presented by prominent specialists in the various topics covered, have attracted a very large number of participants. This series presents fully updated and when necessary re-grouped lectures in a number of topical volumes. The collection aims at giving a condensed, critical and up-to-date view of basic knowledge on multiphase flows in relation to systems and phenomena encountered in industrial applications. The present volume covers the background of Multiphase Flows (MPF) that introduces the reader to the particular nature and complexity of multiphase flows and to basic but critical aspects of MPFs including concepts and the definition of the quantities of interest, an introduction to modelling strategies for MPFs, flow regimes, flow regime maps and tr ansition criteria. It also deals with the ubiquitous needs of the multiphase-flow modeller, namely pressure drop and phase distribution, i.e., the void fraction and the topology of the phases that determines the flow regimes.
Download or read book Direct Numerical Simulations of Gas Liquid Multiphase Flows written by Grétar Tryggvason and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accurately predicting the behaviour of multiphase flows is a problem of immense industrial and scientific interest. Modern computers can now study the dynamics in great detail and these simulations yield unprecedented insight. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to direct numerical simulations of multiphase flows for researchers and graduate students. After a brief overview of the context and history the authors review the governing equations. A particular emphasis is placed on the 'one-fluid' formulation where a single set of equations is used to describe the entire flow field and interface terms are included as singularity distributions. Several applications are discussed, showing how direct numerical simulations have helped researchers advance both our understanding and our ability to make predictions. The final chapter gives an overview of recent studies of flows with relatively complex physics, such as mass transfer and chemical reactions, solidification and boiling, and includes extensive references to current work.

Download or read book Direct Numerical Simulation of Two phase Flow with Application to Air Layer Drag Reduction written by Dokyun Kim and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accurate and robust numerical method has been developed to simulate turbulent two-phase flows. The phase interface is tracked by the level-set method to capture frequent topological changes due to breaking or merging. Because of the broad-band characteristics of length scales in two-phase flow, a Lagrangian drop breakup model has been developed, which is coupled to the level-set method. In this approach, small subgrid droplets produced from resolved ligaments are then transferred from the level-set representation to the Lagrangian particles. The further secondary atomization is handled by a stochastic breakup model. When pinching-off of ligaments is not resolved on the level-set grid, a capillary breakup model is used to predict the drop size distribution from the pinching off and inserted as Lagrangian drops. This method improves the mass conservation as well as reducing the computational cost. For a high-fidelity simulation of two-phase flow, a new numerical algorithm has been developed to improve the robustness of the numerical method. The conservative formulation of Navier-Stokes equations is solved with a density correction term in the present method. The density flux terms are calculated from the level-set field for accuracy. In addition, a constant coefficient Poisson system is solved for pressure to satisfy the continuity equation in the fractional-step method. In order to show the capability of the method as an efficient tool in the breakup process, the atomization of a round liquid jet surrounded by a coaxial gas is considered. The numerical results are consistent with the observed breakup mechanisms in the experiment and the stability analysis. The drop size distribution of the resulting spray after breakup is also compared with the experimental data. The subgrid drops are also predicted by the Lagrangian drop breakup model, which shows the applicability of our method for numerical simulation of the atomization process. Both theoretical and numerical approaches are employed to investigate the stability mechanisms of the air layer drag reduction (ALDR) phenomenon. A linear viscous stability analysis is performed by solving the Orr-Sommerfeld equations in a two-dimensional two-phase Couette-Poiseuille flow configuration that mimics the far-downstream region from an air injector. Air-layer stability is reduced as the free-stream velocity, Froude number, and velocity gradients at the air-liquid interface are increased, whereas the air-layer stability is enhanced as the gas flow rate and surface tension force are increased. Nonlinear stability characteristics are also studied using numerical simulations with the same Couette flow configuration as indicated in the linear stability analysis. The study shows that the Weber number has a significant effect on the breakup of the phase interface. As the Weber number increases, the liquid ligaments become thinner, requiring higher grid resolution. Therefore, for simulations of high Weber number flows, the use of a Lagrangian spray breakup model is essential to predict the dynamics of subgrid-scale liquid structures. Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of two-phase flow is also performed to investigate the air layer drag reduction (ALDR) phenomenon in turbulent water flow over a backward-facing step. The Reynolds and Weber numbers based on the water properties and step height are 22,800 and 560, respectively. The total number of grid points is about 271 million for DNS. Two different air-flow injection rates are examined to investigate the mechanism and stability of the air layer. For high air-flow rate, the stable air layer is formed on the plate and more than 90% drag reduction is obtained, whereas, in the case of low air-flow rate, the air layer breaks up and ALDR is not achieved. The initial Kelvin-Helmholtz instability causes the streamwise wave structure, while turbulence interaction forms the spawise waves and causes ligament breakups. However, overall rupture of the air layer is mainly determined by the stability of the streamwise wave. The stability of the streamwise wave can be predicted from the stability analysis in the far-downstream region.

Download or read book Numerical Simulation of Two phase Flow with Front capturing written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the complexity of two-phase flow phenomena, two-phase flow codes rely heavily on empirical correlations. This approach has a number of serious shortcomings. Advances in parallel computing and continuing improvements in computer speed and memory have stimulated the development of numerical simulation tools that rely less on empirical correlations and more on fundamental physics. The objective of this work is to take advantage of developments in massively parallel computing, single-phase computational fluid dynamics of complex systems, and numerical methods for front capturing in two-phase flows to develop a computer code for direct numerical simulation of two-phase flow. This includes bubble/droplet transport, interface deformation and topology change, bubble/droplet interactions, interface mass, momentum and energy transfer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiphase flows are found in all areas of technology, at all length scales and flow regimes and can involve compressible or incompressible linear or nonlinear, fluids. However, although they are ubiquitous, multiphase flows continue to be one of the most challenging areas of computational mechanics, with numerous problems as yet unsolved. Advanced computational and experimental methods are often required to solve the equations that describe such complex problems. The many challenges that must be faced in solving them include modelling nonlinear fluids, modelling and tracking interfaces, dealing with multiple length scales, characterising phase structures, and treating drop break-up and coalescence. It is important to validate models, which calls for the use of expensive and difficult experimental techniques.This book presents contributions on the latest research in the techniques for solving multiphase flow problems, presented at the seventh in a biennial series of conferences on the subject that began in 2001. Featured topics include: Flow in porous media; Turbulent flow; Multiphase flow simulation; Image processing; Heat transfer; Atomization; Interface behaviour; Oil and gas applications; Experimental measurements; Energy applications; Biological flows; Micro and macro fluids; Compressible flows.
