Fluid Mechanics of Heterogeneous Phase Change

Development of a phase change model for volume-of-fluid method in OpenFOAM

In this present study, volume of fluid method in OpenFOAM open source CFD package will be extended to consider phase change phenomena with modified model due to condensation and boiling processes. This model is suitable for the case in which both unsaturated phase and saturated phase are present and for beginning boiling and condensation process needn't initial interface. Both phases (liquid-va...

Environmental multi-phase fluid mechanics: what, why, how, where to?

In April 2009, the Springer journal Environmental FluidMechanics published a special issue on ‘‘Recent Advances on Multi-Phase Flows of Environmental Importance’’ (Env. Fluid Mech., Vol. 9, No. 2, 2009), edited by the same authors of this editorial [1]. That issue featured six high-calibre papers devoted to a range of multi-phase flow topics relevant to environmental and geophysical flows [2–7]...

Phase Behavior Cur Of Reservoir Fluid

Respiratory fluid mechanics.

This article covers several aspects of respiratory fluid mechanics that have been actively investigated by our group over the years. For the most part, the topics involve two-phase flows in the respiratory system with applications to normal and diseased lungs, as well as therapeutic interventions. Specifically, the topics include liquid plug flow in airways and at airway bifurcations as it rela...
