In this paper, we review and compare the level set, phase-field, and immersed boundary methods for incompressible two-phase flows. The models are based on modified Navier–Stokes and interface evolution equations. We present the basic concepts behind these approaches and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method. We also present numerical solutions of the three methods and perform characteristic numerical experiments for two-phase fluid flows.

Paper forming is the first step in the paper machine where a fiber suspension leaves the headbox and flows through a forming fabric. Complex physical phenomena occur as the paper forms, during which fibers, fillers, fines, and chemicals added to the suspension interact. Understanding this process is important for the development of improved paper products because the configuration of the fibers during this step greatly influences the final paper quality. Because the effective paper properties depend on the microstructure of the fiber web, a continuum model is inadequate to explain the process and the properties of each fiber need to be accounted for in simulations. This study describes a new framework for microstructure simulation of early paper forming. The simulation framework includes a Navier-Stokes solver and immersed boundary methods to resolve the flow around the fibers. The fibers were modeled with a finite element discretization of the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation in a co-rotational formulation. The contact model is based on a penalty method and includes friction and elastic and inelastic collisions. We validated the fiber model and the contact model against demanding test cases from the literature, with excellent results. The fluid-structure interaction in the model was examined by simulating an elastic beam oscillating in a cross flow. We also simulated early paper formation to demonstrate the potential of the proposed framework.

A model with a volumetric stress tensor added to the Navier–Stokes Equation is used to study two-phase fluid flows. The implementation of such an interface model into the lattice-Boltzmann equation is derived from the continuous Boltzmann BGK equation with an external force term, by using the discrete coordinate method. Numerical simulations are carried out for phase separation and "dam breaking" phenomena.

Purpose A numerical method is developed to capture the interaction of solid object with two-phase flow with high density ratios. The current computational tool would be the first step of accurate modeling of wave energy converters in which the immense energy of the ocean can be extracted at low cost. Design/methodology/approach The full two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations are discretized on a regular structured grid, and the two-step projection method along with multi-processing (OpenMP) is used to efficiently solve the flow equations. The level set and the immersed boundary methods are used to capture the free surface of a fluid and a solid object, respectively. The full two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations are solved on a regular structured grid to resolve the flow field. Level set and immersed boundary methods are used to capture the free surface of liquid and solid object, respectively. A proper contact angle between the solid object and the fluid is used to enhance the accuracy of the advection of the mass and momentum of the fluids in three-phase cells. Findings The computational tool is verified based on numerical and experimental data with two scenarios: a cylinder falling into a rectangular domain due to gravity and a dam breaking in the presence of a fixed obstacle. In the former validation simulation, the accuracy of the immersed boundary method is verified. However, the accuracy of the level set method while the computational tool can model the high-density ratio is confirmed in the dam-breaking simulation. The results obtained from the current method are in good agreement with experimental data and other numerical studies. Practical/implications The computational tool is capable of being parallelized to reduce the computational cost; therefore, an OpenMP is used to solve the flow equations. Its application is seen in the following: wind energy conversion, interaction of solid object such as wind turbine with water waves, etc. Originality/value A high efficient CFD approach method is introduced to capture the interaction of solid object with a two-phase flow where they have high-density ratio. The current method has the ability to efficiently be parallelized.
