Simulation of a cusped bubble rising in a viscoelastic fluid with a new numerical method
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed a new lattice Boltzmann method that allows the simulation of two-phase flow of viscoelastic liquid mixtures. We used this new method to simulate a bubble rising in a viscoelastic fluid and were able to reproduce the experimentally observed cusp at the trailing end of the bubble. 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Numerical simulation of a rising bubble in viscoelastic fluids
In this paper we discuss simulation techniques for a rising bubble in viscoelastic fluids via numerical methods based on high order FEM. A level set approach based on the work in [9] is used for interface tracking between the bubble and the surrounding fluid. The two matters obey the Newtonian and the Oldroyd-B constitutive law in the case of a viscoelastic fluid while the flow model is given b...
متن کاملComputational Simulation of Hydrodynamic Convection in Rising Bubble Under Microgravity Condition
In this work, rising of a single bubble in a quiescent liquid under microgravity condition was simulated. The related unsteady incompressible full Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a conventional finite difference method with a structured staggered grid. The interface was tracked explicitly by connected marker points via hybrid front capturing and tracking method. One field approximatio...

متن کاملNumerical simulation of the fluid dynamics in a 3D spherical model of partially liquefied vitreous due to eye movements under planar interface conditions
Partially liquefied vitreous humor is a common physical and biochemical degenerative change in vitreous body which the liquid component gets separated from collagen fiber network and leads to form a region of liquefaction. The main objective of this research is to investigate how the oscillatory motions influence flow dynamics of partial vitreous liquefaction (PVL). So far computational fluid d...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of bubble rising in viscous liquid
An improved numerical algorithm for front tracking method is developed to simulate the rising of a bubble in quiescent viscous liquid due to buoyancy. In the new numerical algorithm, volume correction is introduced to conserve the bubble volume while tracking the bubble’s rising and deforming, and volume flux conservation based SIMPLE algorithm is adopted to solve the Navier–Stokes equation for...
