Turbulent Mixing of Multiphase Flow

Abstract

Mixing of multi-phase fluids is common in diverse research fields, and understanding of such an important phenomenon is useful to a range of engineering applications such as the polymer blender or control and designs of fluid processing. In this paper we adopt the phase-field modeling approach to investigate capillary induced effects on mixing. Phase-field modeling has been applied to simulation of multi-phase flow (Chella & Vinals 1996; Jasnow & Vinals 1996; Jacqmin 1999) due to its attractive aspect of easy numerical implementation. More recently it has also been applied to simulations of solidification of dendritic alloys (Zhao et al. 2003) and polymer blenders (Roths et al. 2002).
