Simulating surfactant effects in phase-transforming fluids
Keyu Feng, Saikat Mukherjee, Tianyi Hu +1
Surfactants are critical in natural processes and engineering, but measuring their concentrations in non-equilibrium conditions and in the presence of flow is difficult. Therefore,…

Phase-Field/Discontinuity Capturing operator for direct van der Waals simulation (DVS)
Tianyi Hu, Thomas J. R. Hughes, Guglielmo Scovazzi +1
Discontinuity capturing (DC) operators are commonly employed to numerically solve problems involving sharp gradients in the solution. Despite their success, the application of DC o…

Direct van der Waals simulation (DVS) of phase-transforming fluids
Tianyi Hu, Hao Wang, Hector Gomez
We present the method of Direct van der Waals simulation (DVS) to study computationally flows with liquid-vapor phase transformations. Our approach is based on a novel discretizati…
