Abstract

Particle methods are those in which the problem is represented by a discrete number of particles. Each particle moves accordingly with its own mass and the external/internal forces applied on it. In this paper the Particle Finite Element Method based on finite element shape functions [...]

Abstract

Heterogeneous incompressible fluid flows with jumps in the viscous properties are solved with the particle finite element method using continuous and [...]

Abstract

The latest generation of the particle finite element method (PFEM-2) is a numerical method based on the Lagrangian formulation of the equations, which [...]

Abstract

The numerical simulation of multiphase flows presents several challenges, namely the transport of different phases within de domain and the inclusion of capillary effects. Here, these are approached by enforcing a discrete physics-compatible solution. Extending our previous work on [...]

Abstract

Modal analysis of three-dimensional gravitational thin liquid sheet flows, interacting with unconfined gaseous environments located on both sides of the liquid phase, is performed in the present work. Numerical data of this relevant two-phase flow configuration are obtained through [...]

Abstract

The pseudopotential method has grown as a powerful tool for multiphase fluid flow simulations within the lattice Boltzmann method framework. We consider that due to its simplicity and computational efficiency, the pseudopotential method could be explored also inside the framework [...]

Abstract

Multifluids are those fluids in which their physical properties (viscosity or density) vary internally and abruptly forming internal interfaces that introduce a large nonlinearity in the [...]
