Convolution in Multiphase Flow Simulations: Improving Interface Curvature Estimations

The accurate approximation of the surface tension force is paramount for continuum surface models in the field of computational fluid dynamics for multiphase flow where surface tension is relevant. This involves being able to accurately calculate the curvature at the interface. This study focuses on the use of convolution in smoothing the VOF...

Mobile CFD solving: Solving natural convection problems in real time

We have explored the concept of mobile computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solving. Using the computational<br/>power of a smartphone we tried to generate real time simulations of relatively simple transient natural<br/>convection problems in the laminar regime. The focus lies on finding a compromise between accuracy, speed<br/>and stability: we...
