This concerns particularly small-scale flows and, more generally, highly-resolved liquid-gas simulations with moderate inertia. To date, the majority of interfacial-flow simulations are performed using an explicit surface-tension treatment, which restrains the performance of such simulations. Recently, an implicit treatment of surface tension able to breach the capillary time-step constraint using the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method was proposed, based on a fully-coupled pressure-based finite-volume algorithm. To this end, the interface-advection equation is incorporated implicitly into the linear flow solver, resulting in a tight coupling between all implicit solution variables (colour function, pressure, velocity). However, this algorithm is limited to uniform density and viscosity fields. Here, we present a fully-coupled algorithm for interfacial flows with implicit surface tension applicable to interfacial flows with large density and viscosity ratios. This is achieved by solving the continuity and momentum equations in conservative form, whereby the density is treated implicitly with respect to the colour function, and the advection term of the interface-advection equation is discretised using the THINC/QQ algebraic VOF scheme, yielding a consistent discretisation of the advective terms. This new algorithm is tested by considering representative surface-tension-dominated interfacial flows, including the Laplace equilibrium of a stationary droplet and the three-dimensional Rayleigh-Plateau instability of a liquid filament. The presented results demonstrate that interfacial flows with large density and viscosity ratios can be simulated and energy conservation is ensured, even with a time step larger than the capillary time-step constraint, provided that other time-step restrictions are satisfied.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":352,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Physics","volume":"520 ","pages":"Article 113520"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142536280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fully implicit schemes are useful for certain applications such as the WaveHoltz algorithm for solving Helmholtz problems where very large time-steps are desired. Some wave propagation problems are geometrically stiff due to localized regions of small grid cells, such as grids needed to resolve fine geometric features, and for these situations the implicit time-stepping scheme is combined with an explicit scheme: the implicit scheme is used for component grids containing small cells while the explicit scheme is used on the other grids such as background Cartesian grids.

In the presence of phase transition, interfacial physics are governed by molecular interaction on a microscopic scale, beyond the scope of the macroscopic continuum model in the bulk phases. The developed approximate two-phase Riemann solvers tackle this multi-scale problem, by incorporating a local thermodynamic model to predict the interfacial entropy production. Using phenomenological relations of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, interfacial mass and heat fluxes are derived from the entropy production and provide closure at the phase boundary. We employ the proposed Riemann solvers in an efficient sharp interface level-set Ghost-Fluid framework to provide coupling conditions at phase interfaces under phase transition. As a single-phase benchmark, a Rayleigh-Bénard convection is studied to compare the hyperbolic thermal relaxation formulation of the GPR model against the hyperbolic-parabolic Euler-Fourier system. The novel interfacial Riemann solvers are validated against molecular dynamics simulations of evaporating shock tubes with the Lennard-Jones shifted and truncated potential. On a macroscopic scale, evaporating shock tubes are computed for the material n-Dodecane and compared against Euler-Fourier results.

For the simulation of rarefied gas flows in the presence of solid walls with complex geometry, the distribution function in the reflection region of the wall surface needs to be constructed in the discrete velocity space, to fulfill the specular reflection in the Maxwell boundary condition. The construction process should not consist of interpolation only, but include certain macroscopic physical constraints at the wall surface, so as to correctly account for gas-surface interaction on a macroscopic level. We demonstrate that for the specular reflection, keeping the symmetry of the first three moments of the distribution function between the incident and reflected region is sufficient for maintaining the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy at the wall surface. Furthermore, to strictly satisfy macroscopic physical constraints, a Lagrange multiplier method is introduced into the construction of the distribution function to correct the pure interpolation solution. In addition, the construction process requires the inversion of a large and sparse matrix (of dimension <em>N</em> × <em>N</em>, where N is the number of points in the velocity space). To improve the computational efficiency, the matrix inversion is converted into that of a much smaller matrix, i.e. (<em>D</em> + 2) × (<em>D</em> + 2) in the <span>d</span>-dimensional physical space. A series of numerical experiments are conducted to examine the performance of the proposed algorithm under different flow conditions. We demonstrate that the results obtained by the proposed algorithm are more accurate than the pure interpolation solution, comparing with the benchmark data. Moreover, after the validation of our results with previous studies, we find that the method significantly enhances the conservation of total mass and energy, especially for flows in an enclosed domain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":352,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Physics","volume":"521 ","pages":"Article 113518"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142572537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many turbulence models tend to overpredict the temperature on turbine blades, leading to incorrect identification of hot-spot regions and, consequently, erroneous estimations of blade life.
