Abstract
The interaction between a traveling shock wave and a cylindrical water column was predicted using the open-source CFD toolbox OpenFOAM. The two-dimensional flow in a shock tube device was simulated by using the volume-of-fluid method for tracking the transient interface between the two immiscible fluids. The analysis was based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes approach, where an eddy-viscosity model was supplied for the turbulence closure. The acceptably accurate results achieved for this complex fluids engineering problem confirmed the viability of this toolbox for industrial research and development.
