NUMERICAL SIMULATION ON MULTI-FLUID INTERFACES

INTRODUCTIONThe study on phenomenon of multi- fluid in-terface driven by shock waves include:( 1 ) totrack the motion of multimaterial interfaces;( 2 )to simulate the chemical reaction on the inter-faces. As the pioneering work,chemical reactionis neglected in this paper. The objective is totrack the interfaces. Of course,the fluids aretreated as compressible medium under such ahigh impact.Although Eulerian schemes workwell for most gas flows,they have been shownto be too dissipative nea…

NUMERICAL SIMULATION ON MULTI-FLUID INTERFACES

Enhancement of two fluid mixing was numerically studied by tracking the multi fluid interfaces. Level set equations were used to capture the interfaces, and flow field was obtained by upwind TVD scheme to solve 2D Eulerian equations. The boundary conditions at interface of two fluids are determined by Ghost fluid method (GFM). The distributions of fluid parameters, such as pressure and density, were got at different time steps. The results show that the method presented in this paper can track the density discontinuity perfectly. Superior to previous results, the density discontinuity remains sharper. Also, the mixing of fluids can be greatly enhanced by setting disturbances along the initial fluid interfaces.
