Smooth Particle Hydrodynamic and URAN Visualization of Multiphase Flow

Abstract:

Significant research is being conducted in the simulation of fluid flows due to the increase in employing the physics of the fluid flow to either commercial, in-house or open source codes. The analysis of the fluid flow is mainly based on the Lagrangian or the Eulerian approach. Many of the simulation codes employ the Eulerian approach due to its simplicity. These codes are based on several numerical techniques and yet few benchmarks have been conducted. However, the codes which employ the Lagrangian approach seem to be promising and may accurately simulate fluid flow phenomena. In this paper, a comparative analysis of the Lagrangian and Eulerian approach is investigated for a water droplet in a tank. The velocity field and the total pressure of the fluid are generated for the simulation by employing Ansys Fluent for the Eulerian approach and DualPhysics for the Lagrangian approach. The fluid structure and the fluid flow development are compared in order to assess the capability of each approaches in analysing the investigated fluid flow. This study may play a significant role on the importance of employing the Lagrangian approach for fluid flows where complex fluid structure occurs.
