Wave loads on vertical structure with overhang: considering air influence

Wave impact on vertical structures with overhangs is studied. 3 research questions are addressed: 1. How does the entrapped air change during the process of wave impacts ? 2. How is the wave loading influenced by the presence of horizontal overhang ? 3. How is the wave loading influenced by the presence of air pocket?

Droplet collisions of water and milk in a spray with Langevin turbulence dispersion

In this work we investigate droplet-droplet collision interactions in a spray system using an Eulerian-Lagrangian model with subgrid turbulence dispersion. The effect of different droplet viscosities on the type and frequency of droplet collision is investigated, knowledge of which is essential for industrial processes such as spray drying...

Oblique Particle-Wall Collisions in a Viscous Fluid

Interaction of particles in a viscous fluid with a wall and with other particles is often observed in phenomena like sedimentation, erosion and filtration processes. With the increasing computational power there is now the possibility of simulating such particle-laden flows from a micro-scale perspective by direct application of no-slip/no...

Droplet collisions in turbulence

Liquid droplets occur in many natural phenomena and play an important role in a large number of industrial applications. One of the distinct properties of droplets as opposed to solid particles is their ability to merge, or coalesce upon collision. Coalescence of liquid drops is of importance in for example the food industry, where the shelf...
