A low-dissipation diffuse interface method for simulating multiphase flows

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

In prior work [1], we developed a low-dissipation numerical scheme for simulating multiphase flows with a diffuse interface formulation. This work expands upon the model, extending the tangent of hyperbola for interface capturing (THINC) scheme to a multi-dimensional formulation, and adding in surface tension effects through the use of the continuum surface force model. These extensions are validated against standard test problems. The model is then applied to the examination of the Mach 1.47 shock/droplet aerobreakup case. The simulations are run in both two and three dimensions, and the results demonstrate expected shear-stripping/shattering aerobreakup patterns.
