Aurelia Vallier Coupling of VOF with LPT to improve cavitation modeling 2011-11-16 20 / 21
Introduction Multi-scale model Bubbles identification Results Conclusions
Implementation of a multi-scale model.
VOF model complemented with a four-way coupling LPT model.Identification of the small bubbles suitable for LPT approach.
Model applied to simple cases of air bubbles breaking up under theimpact of a water jet.
Ability to capture and track the small bubbles which a pure VOF modelfails to describe.Particles size and distribution depend on the parameters introduced.
Onging work : test on a cavitating case of the complete model.
Include mass transfer with the VOF approach.
Include the description of the small bubbles dynamics with the LPTapproach.
Convert a particle back to the VOF approach when
it comes near an isosurface α = 0.5 orit is not suitable for LPT anymore (coalescence)
