Numerical models of surface tension

S Popinet - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2018‏ - annualreviews.org
Numerical models of surface tension play an increasingly important role in our capacity to
understand and predict a wide range of multiphase flow problems. The accuracy and …

Drop impact on a solid surface

C Josserand, ST Thoroddsen - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 2016‏ - annualreviews.org
A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the
breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and …

Space–time adaptive ADER discontinuous Galerkin finite element schemes with a posteriori sub-cell finite volume limiting

O Zanotti, F Fambri, M Dumbser, A Hidalgo - Computers & Fluids, 2015‏ - Elsevier
In this paper we present a novel arbitrary high order accurate discontinuous Galerkin (DG)
finite element method on space–time adaptive Cartesian meshes (AMR) for hyperbolic …

Multiscale simulation of atomization with small droplets represented by a Lagrangian point-particle model

Y Ling, S Zaleski, R Scardovelli - International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 2015‏ - Elsevier
Modeling and simulation of atomization is challenging due to the existence of a wide range
of length scales. This multiscale nature of atomization introduces a fundamental challenge to …

Capillary effects on wave breaking

L Deike, S Popinet, WK Melville - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2015‏ - cambridge.org
We investigate the influence of capillary effects on wave breaking through direct numerical
simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations for a two-phase air–water flow. A parametric …

von Kármán vortex street within an impacting drop

MJ Thoraval, K Takehara, TG Etoh, S Popinet, P Ray… - Physical review …, 2012‏ - APS
The splashing of a drop impacting onto a liquid pool produces a range of different sized
microdroplets. At high impact velocities, the most significant source of these droplets is a thin …
