TEMP000014 Modelling Multiphase Flows with Phase Field Models and the Lattice Boltzmann Method

Volume 2014/2015
Education

The purpose of this self-study course is to investigate the coupling between mesoscopic CFD-approaches and phase field theories when simulating weakly compressible fluids. More precisely, we will consider the two techniques in depth and consider how to describe a meaningful coupling between the two approaches. The aim is to carry out an examination of the effects of multiphase interactions on the flow of weakly compressible fluids in non-trivial geometries.

The aim is to carry out an examination of the effects of multiphase interactions on the flow of weakly compressible fluids in non-trivial geometries.

Learning Outcome

The student will become familiar with phase field models and the lattice Boltmann method. The student will further be able to make numerical simulations of simple physical multiphase systems using a combined phase field model to track the phases and the Lattice Boltzmann Method to perform the fluid simulations.

Self-study with weekly discussion meetings.
