    This paper is concerned with a numerical study on the behavior of a single Newtonian droplet suspended in another Newtonian fluid, all subjected to a simple shear flow. Conservative finite-volume approximation on a collocated ...

  • An energy-preserving level set method for multiphase flows 

    Valle Marchante, Nicolás; Trias Miquel, Francesc Xavier; Castro González, Jesús (2020-01-01)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The computation of multiphase flows presents a subtle energetic equilibrium between potential (i.e., surface) and kinetic energies. The use of traditional interface-capturing schemes provides no control over such a dynamic ...

  • A dynamic load balancing method for the evaluation of chemical reaction rates in parallel combustion simulations

    Article
    Open Access
    An experimental study has been carried out to determine how inlet total-pressure distortion affects the performance of a micro gas turbine. An inlet simulator is designed and developed to produce and measure distortion ...

  • A time-average filtering technique to improve the efficiency of two-layer wall models for large eddy simulation in complex geometries 

    Calafell Sandiumenge, Joan; Trias Miquel, Francesc Xavier; Lehmkuhl Barba, Oriol; Oliva Llena, Asensio (Elsevier, 2019-06-30)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Two-Layer wall models have been recurrently studied since they represent a good physical model for Large Eddy Simulations with underresolved wall regions. Specifically, those based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes ...
