The rapidly advancing contact line Part-1: Navier slip and microscale inertial effects

Yash Kulkarni, Tomas Fullana, Stephane Popinet +1

Curtain coating, in which a moving plate is coated by a falling liquid sheet, sustains advancing contact lines at large capillary numbers Ca ~ O(1), based on plate speed. Steady st…

Applying contact angles based on a continuously moving contact line in 2D VOF simulations

Tianyang Han, Jieyun Pan, Chongsen Huang +4

A height-function-based numerical approach is developed for enforcing contact angles on flat and curved solid surfaces within two-dimensional volume-of-fluid simulations. This meth…

A consistent treatment of dynamic contact angles in the sharp-interface framework with the generalized Navier boundary condition

Tomas Fullana, Yash Kulkarni, Mathis Fricke +4

In this work, we revisit the Generalized Navier Boundary condition (GNBC) introduced by Qian et al.\ in the sharp interface Volume-of-Fluid context. We replace the singular uncompe…

Implementation of integral surface tension formulations in a volume of fluid framework and their applications to Marangoni flows

Mandeep Saini, Vatsal Sanjay, Youssef Saade +2

Accurate numerical modeling of surface tension has been a challenging aspect of multiphase flow simulations. The integral formulation for modeling surface tension forces is known t…

A Three-dimensional Edge-Based Interface Tracking (EBIT) Method for Multiphase-flow Simulations

Jieyun Pan, Tian Long, Ruben Scardovelli +2

The Edge-Based Interface Tracking (EBIT) method is a novel Front-Tracking method where the markers are located on grid edges, and their connectivity is implicitly represented by a…
