3D-Coupling of Volume-of-Fluid and Lagrangian Particle Tracking for Spray Atomization Simulation in OpenFOAM

atomizationFoam

Features

• Volume-of-Fluid (VoF) solver for incompressible flows coupled with Lagrangian library
• Conversion of small VoF elements to Lagrangian parcels to reduce computational cost
• Support for
  • Particle-particle interaction (collision, coalescence) and secondary breakup
  • Adaptive mesh refinement
  • Fully parallelized
• Based on interIsoFoam in OpenFOAM v2212.

Compilation

1. Clone the atomizationFoam gitHub repository:

git clone https://github.com/imfd-stroemungsmechanik/atomizationFoam.git

2. Use the Allwmake script to compile the atomizationFoam solver and its corresponding library:

./Allwmake
