A hybrid VOF–Lagrangian method for simulating the aerodynamic breakup of liquid droplets induced by a traveling shock wave is proposed and tested. The droplet deformation fragmentation, together with subsequent mist development, are predicted using fully three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model following unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes approach. main characteristics aerobre...

Abstract Coupled Volume of Fluid and Level Set method inherits the advantages VOF methods, takes function as main body to simulate fluid motion interface, corrects normal direction interface through function, so effectively overcome shortcomings two methods. The numerical simulation example multi vortex shear flow field shows that this can ensure better accuracy moving higher calculation effici...

To simulate primary atomization, one has to track the position of the phase interface accurately, handle large numbers of topology changes and drops, treat the singular force of surface tension in an accurate and stable manner, and ensure grid-independent numerical results. To address all of these challenges we present a balanced force Refined Level Set Grid (RLSG) method for collocated, unstru...

In this work we discuss a way to compute the impact of free-surface flow on nonlinear structures. The approach chosen rely on a partitioned strategy that allows to solve strongly coupled fluid-structure interaction problem. It is then possible to re-use existing and validated strategy for each sub-problem. The structure is formulated in a Lagrangian way and solved by the finite element method. ...

Since typical industrial-scale reactors may contain many millions of bubbles, the extension of direct free-surface modelling techniques to resolve every bubble in the vessel would require far more computational power than will be available. A more immediate solution is to couple macro-scale reactor models to micro-scale models of individual bubbles and collections of a small number of bubbles. ...

Nano imprint lithography(NIL) is a cost-efficient, highthroughput processing technique to transfer nano-scale patterns onto thin polymer films. Polymers used as the resist include UV cured resins as well as thermoplastics such as polymethyl-methacrylate(PMMA). In this study, an analytic investigation was performed for the NIL process of transferring nano scale patterns onto polymeric films. Pro...

Our fluid simulation runs on an unrestricted octree data structure which uses mesh refinement techniques to enable higher level of detail and solves Navier Stokes equations for multiple fluids. We also show our solution for floating objects and unmoving obstacles by setting up the boundry conditions and solving the velocity of objects using a simple rigid body solver. We propose technique for d...

Abstract Impact spreading of droplets in spray coating of paper was investigated using numerical simulation based on a volume-offluid (VOF) model. The results include the effects of droplet size, droplet impact velocity, liquid viscosity, liquid surface tension and paper web velocity on droplet spreading. Pressure and strain rate fields as well as timescales of spreading are reported. The resul...
