Application of a thermodynamically compatible two‐phase flow model to the high‐resolution simulations of compressible gas–magma flow

Abstract

SUMMARYThis paper reports on the application and development of a fully hyperbolic and fully conservative two‐phase flow model for the simulation of gas and magma flow within volcanic processes. The model solves a set of mixture conservation equations for the gas and magma two‐phase flow with velocity non‐equilibrium. In this model, the effect of the relative velocity is introduced by a kinetic constitutive equation with other equations for volume and mass fractions of the gas phase. The model is examined numerically by the widely used finite volume Godunov methods of centered‐type. Using the Riemann problem, we numerically simulate wave propagation and the development of shocks and rarefactions in volcanic eruptions. These simulations are of magma fragmentation type where the relative velocity continues to dominate. A series of test cases whose solution contains features relevant to gas–magma mixtures are conducted. In particular, numerical results indicate that the model implementation predicts key features of the relative velocity within volcanic processes without any mathematical or physical simplifications. Simulation results are sharply and accurately provided without any spurious oscillations in all of the flow variables. The numerical methods and results are also compared with other numerical methods available in the literature. It is found that the provided resolutions are more accurate for the considered test cases. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Stabilized mixed finite element methods for the Navier‐Stokes equations with damping

“…The numerical analysis of the Stokes or Navier‐Stokes equations has been researched extensively (see previous studies). Some studies also have been devoted to the Stokes equations with damping.…”

“…1-3 The damping comes from the resistance to the motion of the flow, which describes various physical situations such as porous media flow, drag, or friction effects and some dissipative mechanisms. 4,5 The numerical analysis of the Stokes or Navier-Stokes equations has been researched extensively (see previous studies [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] ). Some studies also have been devoted to the Stokes equations with damping.…”

Traveling wave solutions in nonlocal delayed reaction‐diffusion systems with partial quasimonotonicity

“…It is well known that many important mathematical models arises in different areas, such as applied sciences, physics, and engineering, one can refer to previous studies. [1][2][3][4] In ecology, many population models have been proposed according to different fields of mathematical biology. For example, the predator species can still survive in the absence of some of prey species when an ecological community have many prey species.…”

Drag force simulation in explosive volcanic flows

“…The model is described by the balance of mass (ρ), momentum (ρu) and energy (E) for the mixture with a relative velocity (u r ) between phases and volume and mass fraction, α and c equations for the second phase. These equations are as follows in process without mass transfer [1]:…”
