Description

Multiphase flows are still challenging for physical, mathematical as well as numerical modeling, especially for a flow regime with extreme ambient conditions, as contemplated in this SFB TRR 75. In this subproject numerical methods for the direct numerical modeling of individual droplets are developed and implemented. Various plugins to implement these flow regimes in the program ‘FS3D’ are being developed. To investigate the numerical modeling in terms of thermodynamic conditions and interaction and to validate, assuming spherical drops a test environment is created. Modeling approaches can be tested quickly in this environment.

Direct simulations of flows with droplets require several components: A solver for compressible multicomponent flows with an EOS to accound for real fluid behaviour, methods for coupling the different fluids and algorithms for tracking the material or phase boundaries. In this project the ‘sharp-interface-coupling’ is investigated, whereby the ‘ghost-fluid-method’ is used. The identification of the material boundaries is performed by level-set and/or the volume-of-fluid approach. It is exploited here, that the ‘level set approach’ yields the position, the curvature and the normal of the material boundary and the mass conservation is good in the VOF or indicator approach. Level-Set, VOF-equation and the flow field equations are calculated with a discontinuous Galerkin method in which locally the resolution can be improved by h-p adaptation. The numerical method has to be applicable to the planned application with a compressible twophase flow regime. Therefore the transition near the supercritical regime has to be implemented

The main research topics of the TP-A2 in the first funding period are the numerical modeling of the thermodynamic relations on the droplet’s surface and the implementation in the computation program „FS3D“. An essential cooperation exists with thermodynamics, mathematics and chemistry.
