Solver: Comparison Multiphase - Free Surface (VoF) Solvers
Free Surface (VoF) Solvers In this group, we have included solvers implementing Volume of Fluid (VoF) approach to handle multiple immiscible and miscible fluids and interactions between them.
Free Surface (VoF) - Immiscible
- interFoam 2 immiscible fluids, DyM
- multiphaseInterFoam multiple immiscible fluids, DyM
- interIsoFoam* 2 immiscible fluids, isoAdvector* method, DyM
- overInterDyMFoam extension of interFoam with Overset, DyM
- compressibleInterFoam compressible version of interFoam with heat transfer
- compressibleInterDyMFoam compressible version of interFoam with heat transfer and DyM
Free Surface (VoF) - Miscible
- interMixingFoam 3 fluids (2 miscible and 1 immiscible), DyM
- twoLiquidMixingFoam** 2 miscible fluids
- * isoAdvector - an alternative approach for interface capturing, MULES method used in other VoF solvers
- ** Solver designed to handle mixtures consisting of multiple fluids within the same phase, such as two gases or two liquids
- VoF - Volume of Fluid
- DyM - Dynamic Mesh
- Overset - also known as Chimera Grid (Method)
- 1. All solvers are transient and capable of accommodating buoyancy forces.
- 2. Additionally, these solvers support:
- RANS/LES turbulence models
- Porosity models
- MRF (except twoLiquidMixingFoam)
- Passive scalar
- Custom source term
