When a hydrogen or oxygen bubble is created on the surface of an electrode, micro-convective vortex flow due to Marangoni effect generated at bottom in contact with electrode. In order study such phenomenon numerically, it necessary be able simulate tension variations along liquid-gas interface, integrate mass transfer across interface from dissolved species present electrolyte gas phase, and t...

Original scientific paper Tsunami is one of the serious natural disasters in the world, which produce huge horizontal thrust on costal buildings, resulting in a large number of houses collapsed instantaneously, causing serious casualties and economic losses. In this paper, based on support from the hydrodynamic software FLOW-3D, the method of Volume of Fluid (VOF) is utilized to capture free in...

– Numerical simulation of hydrocyclones aiming at investigating the separation of microorganisms and mammalian cells was performed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The turbulence model used in the 2daxisymmetric calculations was the Reynolds Stress Model (RSM), in order to take into account the high swirl effects that occur in this type of equipment, which induce anisotropic turbulence...

This research deals with the validation of fluid dynamic models, used for simulating shoaling and breaking solitary waves on slopes, based on experiments performed at the Ecole Supérieure d’Ingénieurs de Marseille’s (ESIM) laboratory. A separate paper, also presented at this conference, reports on experiments. In a first part of this work, a fully nonlinear potential flow model based on a Bound...

Stirred tanks are widely used in process industries for blending of singleand/or multiple-phase fluids, which often involves mass and/or heat transfer, chemical reactions, etc. Deep knowledge of flow field in the stirred tank is necessary to carry out these unit operations efficiently. As a result, extensive investigations of the flow in stirred tanks have been conducted over the past several d...

Molecular dynamics (MD) and volume of fluid (VOF) are powerful methods for the simulation dynamic wetting at nanoscale macroscale, respectively, but massive computational cost MD sensitivity uncertainty boundary conditions in VOF limit their applications to other scales. In this work, we propose a multiscale strategy by enhancing simulations using self-consistent derived from MD. Specifically, ...
