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 v1912

Compilation

• First, compile the library libAtomization in the src folder.
• Afterwards, compile the solver atomizationFoam in the application folder.
