    Numerical Methods in Multiphase Flows

    Uploaded by

    Çağatay Güventürk
    This document summarizes numerical methods for multiphase flows, including the marker and cell method, level set method, volume of fluid method, and arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian approach. Multiphase flow is defined as a flow with two or more interacting phases of matter. The numerical methods track the interface between phases using different techniques, such as marker particles, a signed distance function, or a fraction function. Governing equations for each method include continuity, momentum, and surface tension equations.
