Verification of STACS-VOF Based Two-Phase Flow Model for Interfacial Flows

Abstract:

The numerical calculation and simulation of gas-liquid two-phase flows with interfacial deformations have nowadays become more and more popular issues in various scientific and industrial fields. In this study, a three-dimensional gas-liquid two-phase flow numerical model is presented for investigating interfacial flows. The finite volume method was used to discretize the governing equations. A High-resolution scheme of VOF method (STACS) is applied to capture the free surface. The paper outlines the methodology of STACS and its validation against three typical test cases used to verify its accuracy. The results show the STACS-VOF gives very satisfactory results for three-dimensional two-phase interfacial flows problem, and this scheme performs more accurate and less diffusive preserving interface sharpness and boundedness.
