Summary Currently, the majority of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes use the finite volume method to spatially discretise the computational domain, sometimes as an array of cubic control volumes. The Finite volume method works well with single‐phase flow simulations, but two‐phase flow simulations are more challenging because of the need to track the surface interface traversing and deforming within the 3D grid. Surface area and volume fraction details of each interface cell must be accurately accounted for, in order to calculate for the momentum exchange and rates of heat and mass transfer across the interface. To attain a higher accuracy in two‐phase flow CFD calculations, the intersection marker (ISM) method is developed. The ISM method is a hybrid Lagrangian–Eulerian front‐tracking algorithm that can model an arbitrary 3D surface within an array of cubic control volumes. The ISM method has a cell‐by‐cell remeshing capability that is volume conservative and is suitable for the tracking of complex interface deformation in transient two‐phase CFD simulations.

“…Recently, the numerical research of incompressible multiphase flow is mainly focusing on numerical schemes for Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) and a method for interface treatment. Method research on NSE solver includes Lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) method (Nourgaliev et al, 2003), pseudocompressibility method (Nourgaliev et al, 2004), projection method (Ni et al, 2006) and non-linear multigrid method (Shin et al, 2011), etc. Methods for interface treatment involve level-set method (Osher and Fedkiw, 2001), volume of fluid, ghost fluid method, a coupling method of volume-of-fluid and level set method (CLSVOF), particle level-set method and local front reconstruction method (LFRM) (Shin et al, 2011), etc.…”

Abstract:A new space-time conservation element-solution element (CE/SE) scheme, which is based on the hexahedron mesh, is proposed by constructing a new structure of solution elements (SEs) and conservation elements (CEs) and extended to two-dimensional incompressible multiphase flows. This scheme is applied to several incompressible flow problems, such as lid-driven cavity flow, dam break flow, motions of falling droplets, flow instability and water-kerosene interaction. The numerical results and their comparison with lecture results and experimental data are presented. The comparisons demonstrate that the computational scheme developed currently is clear in physical concept, easy to be implemented and highly accurate and efficient for the above-mentioned problems. The highlight is that the pretreatment method is proposed, transforming the elliptic-parabolic equations to the hyperbolic equations, which can be directly simulated by the improved CE/SE scheme. Thus, the improved CE/SE scheme can be applied to incompressible multiphase flows widely.

“…A single set of equations is solved for the whole domain, gas and liquid, where the material properties of the two fluids are accounted for by means of an indicator function for the tracking of the second phase. Several methods for the choice and transport of the indicator function are found in literature: the volume of fluid (VOF) method [27], the front-tracking method [28], the level-set (LS) method [29], the local front reconstruction method (LFRM) [30] as well as various combinations 1.2. Numerical methods for DNS of two-phase flows of the aforementioned methods among which the VOF-LS method [31].…”
