主 题:Cavitating flows large eddy simulation(LES) multi-scale adaptive mesh refinement(AMR) OpenFOAM
摘 要:Cavitating flows are dominated by large gradients of physical properties and quantities containing complicated interfacial structures and lots of multi-scale eddies that need to be accurately characterized using a high-resolution *** present work,within OpenFOAM,proposes an effective modeling framework using the large eddy simulation(LES)approach along with the volume of fluid(VOF)method to simulate the two-phase flow system and applies the Schnerr-Sauer model to calculate the mass-transfer rate between water and *** adaptive mesh refinement(AMR)which is a powerful tool for allocating high-resolution grids only to the region of the greatest concern is adopted for improving the solution of interfacial *** effect of grid size is firstly investigated and the time-averaged quantities are verified against the experimental data,and then simulations of cavitating flows are successfully achieved to precisely characterize the features of cavitation with automatically and dynamically refining the *** the refinement only takes place in the interfacial region,high-precision simulations can be achieved with limited computational resources,and the method shows promising prospects for modeling of the multi-scale,time-critical and computationally intensive cavitating flows.
