Generic and robust numerical framework for multiphase flows using volume of fluid immersed boundary methods

Abstract

The thesis presents the development of a multi fluid multiphase flow solver for numerical simulations involving immiscible and miscible fluid flows with large density ratios interacting with multiple stationary and or moving rigid solids We discuss the development of a two dimensional incompressible finite volume solver employing a novel hybrid staggered non staggered framework wherein a single normal momentum equation is solved at the cell faces The framework then integrates several strateg
