Numerical Simulation of Two-Phase Interfacial Flows
Journal Title: Mašinstvo - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method for interface capturing in free surface flows in OpenFOAM® software. The VOF-model utilises an algebraic compressive scheme to effectively shrink the transitional region between the liquid and the gaseous phase. The capabilities of the model are demonstrated by simulating two-dimensional axisymmetric droplet shape evolution in a gravity-free environment, as well as drop impact on a liquid film at the flat wall. By inspection of results the model yields good performance for the computation of free-surface flows.
