Interface Reconstruction with Split Lagrangian Advection for Two-Dimensional Interfacial Flows
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 December 2012
Abstract
This paper contributes to propose a 2D practical interface tracking algorithm of volume-of-fluid (VOF) method through the improved interface reconstruction, namely using both mixed Youngs centered column method (MYCCM) and the Lagrangian split advection scheme. A computationally efficiency and second-order accuracy for interface reconstruction method is presented and approximated by heuristic algorithms based on the piecewise linear interface calculation (PLIC) concept. The method can be accurately estimated by a regular structured mesh without any geometrical modifications. Besides, a linear mapping technique is implemented to improve the efficiency of numerical simulations with regard to the approximation for capturing the interface. The computational tests include widely used benchmark cases, such as the solid-body translations and rotations and the swirled single vortex of fluid body. Its performances of the improved algorithm are compared against other classical VOF advection methods. Good results are obtained by using present algorithm.
