Anti-diffusion method for interface steepening in two-phase incompressible flow

In this paper, we present a method for obtaining sharp interfaces in two-phase incompressible flows by an anti-diffusion correction, that is applicable in a straight-forward fashion for the improvement of two-phase flow solution schemes typically employed in practical applications. The underlying discretization is based on the volume-of-fluid (VOF) interface-capturing method on unstructured meshes. The key idea is to steepen the interface, independently of the underlying volume-fraction transport equation, by solving a diffusion equation with reverse time, i.e. an anti-diffusion equation, after each advection time step of the volume fraction. As the solution of the anti-diffusion equation requires regularization, a limiter based on the directional derivative is developed for calculating the gradient of the volume fraction. This limiter ensures the boundedness of the volume fraction. In order to control the amount of anti-diffusion introduced by the correction algorithm we propose a suitable stopping criterion for interface steepening. The formulation of the limiter and the algorithm for solving the anti-diffusion equation are applicable to 3-dimensional unstructured meshes. Validation computations are performed for passive advection of an interface, for 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional rising-bubbles, and for a rising drop in a periodically constricted channel. The results demonstrate that sharp interfaces can be recovered reliably. They show that the accuracy is similar to or even better than that of level-set methods using comparable discretizations for the flow and the level-set evolution. Also, we observe a good agreement with experimental results for the rising drop where proper interface evolution requires accurate mass conservation.     

First-order system least squares and the energetic variational approach for two-phase flow

This paper develops a first-order system least-squares (FOSLS) formulation for equations of two-phase flow. The main goal is to show that this discretization, along with numerical techniques such as nested iteration, algebraic multigrid, and adaptive local refinement, can be used to solve these types of complex fluid flow problems. In addition, from an energetic variational approach, it can be shown that an important quantity to preserve in a given simulation is the energy law. We discuss the energy law and inherent structure for two-phase flow using the Allen–Cahn interface model and indicate how it is related to other complex fluid models, such as magnetohydrodynamics. Finally, we show that, using the FOSLS framework, one can still satisfy the appropriate energy law globally while using well-known numerical techniques.     

Car Deceleration Considering Its Own Velocity in Cellular Automata Model

In this paper, we propose a new cellular automaton model, which is based on NaSch traffic model. In our method, when a car has a larger velocity, if the gap between the car and its leading car is not enough large, it will decrease. The aim is that the following car has a buffer space to decrease its velocity at the next time, and then avoid to decelerate too high. The simulation results show that using our model, the car deceleration is realistic, and is closer to the field measure than that of NaSch model.     

Evaluation of micro-bubble size and gas hold-up in two-phase gas-liquid columns via scattered light measurements

In this paper, potential use of an elliptically polarized light scattering (EPLS) method to monitor both bubble size and gas hold-up in a bubble-laden medium is explored. It is shown that with the use of the new EPLS system, normalized scattering matrix elements (M_ij's) measured at different side and back-scattering angles can be used to obtain the desired correlations between the bubble sizes and input flow parameters for a gas-liquid (GL) column, including gas flow rate and surfactant concentrations. The bubble size distributions were first evaluated experimentally using a digital image processing system for different gas flows and surfactant concentrations. These images showed that the bubbles were not necessarily spherical. We investigated the possibility of modeling the bubbles as effective spheres. The scattering matrix elements were calculated using the Lorenz-Mie theory and the results were compared against the experimentally determined values. It was observed that the change in the bubble size yields significant changes in M₁₁, M₃₃, M₄₄, and M₃₄ profiles. An optimum single measurement angle of θ=120^° was determined for a gas velocity range of 0.04-0.35 cm/s (). The choice of the optimum angle depends on frit pore size, column diameter, gas pressure, and surfactant concentration. These results suggest that a simplified version of the present EPLS system can effectively be used as a two-phase flow sensor to monitor bubble size and liquid hold-up in industrial systems.
