Description: |
The purpose of the course is to provide state-of-the-art
information on physical modeling and numerical simulation
of multifluid flows. After reviewing the different
theoretical modeling of miscible and unmiscible fluid
flows, emphasis is given to the Lagrangian, Eulerian or
mixed numerical approaches currently available in
literature. Lectures are then dedicated to the three main
techniques commonly used to describe and track the fluid
interface between unmiscible fluids: the Level Set Method
(LSM), implicitly based on the zero level of a smooth
function; the Interface Tracking Method (IFT), where the
evolution of the interface is treated explicitly and the
Volume of Fluid (VOF), the algebraic counterpart to the
IFT method, where the algebraic evolution of a color
function C is studied and after the interface
reconstructed from it. When additional flow modeling is
required, additional complications arise, in particular
the delicate LES -VOF coupling needed to deal with
turbulent gas-liquid flow interaction is discussed.
Finally, typical examples of complex flows are then
proposed illustrating basic situations and industrial
applications.
