A coupled arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian and Lagrangian method for computation of free surface flows with insoluble surfactants

A finite element scheme to compute the dynamics of insoluble surfactant on a deforming free surface is presented. The free surface is tracked by the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) approach, whereas the surfactant concentration transport equation is approximated in a Lagrangian manner. Since boundary resolved moving meshes are used in the ALE approach, the surface tension, which may be a li...

A conservative SPH method for surfactant dynamics

In this paper, a Lagrangian particle method is proposed for the simulation of multiphase flows with surfactant. The model is based on the multi-phase smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) framework of Hu and Adams [1]. Surfaceactive agents (surfactants) are incorporated into our method by a scalar quantity describing the local concentration of molecules in the bulk phase and on the interface. T...

Fast and accurate integral equation methods with applications in microfluidics

This thesis is concerned with computational methods for fluid flows on the microscale, also known as microfluidics. This is motivated by current research in biological physics and miniaturization technology, where there is a need to understand complex flows involving microscale structures. Numerical simulations are an important tool for doing this. The first, and smaller, part of the thesis pre...

An immersed boundary method for interfacial flows with insoluble surfactant

In this paper, an immersed boundary method is proposed for the simulation of two-dimensional fluid interfaces with insoluble surfactant. The governing equations are written in a usual immersed boundary formulation where a mixture of Eulerian flow and Lagrangian interfacial variables are used and the linkage between these two set of variables is provided by the Dirac delta function. The immersed...
