Description
For the numerical simulation of droplet dynamic processes the liquid phase and the surrounding gaseous fluid have been previously modeled incompressible. But if we consider the interaction of droplets with high-speed flows, droplets near the critical point or even evaporation processes of highly volatile substances, compressible effects can no longer be neglected. In this subproject fully compressible models for the dynamics of free single droplets and droplet ensembles are developed and studied analytically and numerically. The sharp interface approach (SI) and the diffuse interface approach (DI) are considered comparatively.
The SI-approach describes the dynamics in time dependent regions by the hydrodynamic equations for the two fluids. These equations are coupled with jump conditions, so that an overall free boundary value problem is set. For the numerical approximation algorithms are developed, which, in particular, take into account the jumps in the equations and the curvature of the surface. These methods are incorporated in a ghost fluid approach in the code FS3D of the SFB-TRR 75 for solving the SI model numerically.
The SI-approach is invalid when the topology changes – e.g. in case of drop division – and questionable as modelling approach in the transition to supercritical states. Alternatively in phase transition problems phase field models (DI-models) are used very succesfully. Within the DI-models the location of the interface is not exactly given by a jump in the state variables, but smeared out over a small area, such that a system of evolution equations is valid in the whole area. The thickness of the boundary layer is controlled by a regularization parameter. In this subproject a fully compressible DI-model for any state equations will be developed and validated with tools of asymptotic analysis. The focus is on the numerical solution of the DI-model in several dimensions. Therefore an hp-adaptive discontinuous Galerkin method is developed on unstructured grids and implemented. The numerical method is used for the simulation of droplet experiments.
