This article thus put forward a surface-energy formulation of contact angles. The model was compared with the geometric one in a number of impact problems, including both normal and oblique impacts. The governing equations were discretized using a finite difference method on a half-staggered grid. The Navier–Stokes equation was tackled using an explicit projection method.

First, the geometric model can maintain a fixed contact angle throughout contact line motion, while the surface-energy one predicts a changeable contact angle, with a fluctuation of about 5°.

The flow model incorporates Thermophoresis and Brownian motion directly from Buongiorno's model.

The technique is applicable to any numerical scheme where the data is stored on a regular grid and the time step is computed using a stencil. Our approach significantly diminishes memory requirements, achieving up to a 10-fold long-term reduction on a D3Q27 simulation, while minimally impacting the simulation accuracy. The methodology is built around careful design choices to achieve a satisfactory compression ratio/speed trade-off. It effectively maintains mass conservation and accurately preserves essential discontinuities in simulations. Extensive testing with a D3Q27 Lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) simulation on a single GPU has shown that large-scale grids can be processed with minimal impact on the simulation accuracy and acceptable compression times.

Despite decades of research, the computation of polymer flows in porous media remains a challenging task. The main difficulty lies in the necessity to take into account the effect of <i>inaccessible pore volumes</i> (IPV), for which standard closure laws give rise to a weakly hyperbolic or even non-hyperbolic system. In the latter case, exponential instabilities may appear at the continuous level, which must be addressed at the discrete level so as to prevent a premature stop of the numerical simulations. The notion of IPV was introduced by engineers in order to account for the following observation: when a polymer solution is injected into an initial core saturated with water, the breakthrough of the polymer at the exit occurs before that of the water in which it is injected. It seems that due to their large size, the polymer molecules cannot insinuate themselves into all pores as well as water. Having less volume to flood, the polymer molecules see their speed increased, hence the ad hoc acceleration factor associated with the polymer. In this work, we propose a relaxation method that guarantees some practical robustness for all IPV laws. This is achieved by replacing the original system by a relaxation model which is always hyperbolic. The designed relaxation model involves two parameters which enable us not only to adjust the correct amount of numerical dissipation, but also to ensure positivity for some critical quantities such as water saturation and polymer concentration. Extensive numerical tests are performed in order to compare the relaxation scheme to the more classical upwind scheme for several IPV laws.</p>","PeriodicalId":50348,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids","volume":"97 3","pages":"244-266"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fld.5345","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143117677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Galerkin formulation is used to discretize the Navier–Stokes equations in the spatial domain and the semi-Lagrangian method is used to discretize the material derivative. In order to satisfy the Ladyzhenskaya–Babuška–Brezzi condition, high-order stable pair of elements are used, with pressure and velocity fields being calculated on different degrees of freedom in the unstructured mesh nodes. The interface is modeled by an unfitted adaptive moving mesh, where interface nodes are tracked in a Lagrangian fashion and moved with the velocity solution of the fluid motion equations. The surface tension is computed using the interface curvature and the gradient of a Heaviside function, and added in the momentum equations as a body force. In order to avoid undesired spurious modes at the interface due to high property ratios, a smooth transition between fluid properties is defined on the interface region.
