Computation of compressible two-fluid flows with phase-field models

Bachelorarbeit, Masterarbeit

Compressible two-fluid flow phenomena arise in many industrial applications and natural features. Examples are water–air flows, shock–bubble interaction, water hammer phenomena, surface wave impacts, and the transportation of liquefied natural gas. The study of two-fluid flows is a challenging research area in which modeling and numerical simulation play a key role. There exists a wide range of models that can be adopted for the description of compressible two-phase flows. Of particular interest is the class of phase-field models in which a scalar phase-field quantity is employed for the description of the interface. In this project we will utilize a Navier-Stokes Cahn-Hilliard (NSCH) phase-field model for the numerical simulation of compressible two-fluid flow.
