Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) solver with phasechange for cavitating flows coupled with Lagrangian library

VOFDBMcavitationFoam

Features

• Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) solver with phasechange for cavitating 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
  • Solving RP equation or simplified RP equation for discrete bubbles
  • Adaptive mesh refinement
  • Fully parallelized
• Based on interPhaseChangeFoam

Compilation

• First, compile the library libVOFDBM in the src folder.
• Afterwards, compile the solver VOFDBMcavitationFoam in the application folder.
