Abstract
This paper presents a GPU-based, incompressible, multiphase generalized finite difference solver for simulating multiphase flow. The method includes a dampening scheme that allows for large density ratio cases to be simulated. Two verification studies are performed by simulating the relaxation of a square droplet surrounded by a light fluid and a bubble rising in a denser fluid. The scheme is also used to simulate the collision of binary droplets at moderate Reynolds numbers (250–550). The effects of the surface tension and density ratio are explored in this work by considering cases with Weber numbers of 8 and 180 and density ratios of 2:1 and 1000:1. The robustness of the multiphase scheme is highlighted when resolving thin fluid structures arising in both high and low density ratio cases at We = 180.
期刊介绍:
Mathematical and Computational Applications (MCA) is devoted to original research in the field of engineering, natural sciences or social sciences where mathematical and/or computational techniques are necessary for solving specific problems. The aim of the journal is to provide a medium by which a wide range of experience can be exchanged among researchers from diverse fields such as engineering (electrical, mechanical, civil, industrial, aeronautical, nuclear etc.), natural sciences (physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology etc.) or social sciences (administrative sciences, economics, political sciences etc.). The papers may be theoretical where mathematics is used in a nontrivial way or computational or combination of both. Each paper submitted will be reviewed and only papers of highest quality that contain original ideas and research will be published. Papers containing only experimental techniques and abstract mathematics without any sign of application are discouraged.
