A note on the modelling of lubrication forces in unresolved simulations

Lubrication forces play a major role in the behaviour of fluid–solid systems, where they affect the collisions between particles. Current implementations of lubrication forces in unresolved simulations often suffer from shortcomings, such as neglecting parts of the physics or relying on arbitrarily defined parameters. In this short...

Optimizing landfill aeration strategy with a 3-D multiphase model

In order to reduce the environmental and financial burden for future generations, approaches are needed to shorten aftercare of landfills. Aeration of the waste-body is a promising approach, however, the poor understanding of transport of gas and water through a waste-body makes it difficult to design an effective aeration strategy. The aim of...

Multi-physics computational models of articular cartilage for estimation of its mechanical and physical properties

Recent advances in the realm of computational modeling of complex multiphysics phenomena in articular cartilage enabled efficient and precise determination of articular cartilage properties. However, still accurate quantification of complicated indentation and diffusion processes tying closely with the inhomogeneity of articular cartilage...

Computational Modeling of Gas Liquid Interfaces Using Different Multiphase Models

A time dependent Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis of gas jets impinging onto liquid pools has been conducted. The aim of the study is to obtain a better understanding of highly complex, and industrially relevant flows in jetting system. Three different multiphase models, i.e., The Eulerian model, the volume of fluid model and the mixture...
