Recent advances in numerical methods for the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of multiphase flows are presented. The mathematical formulation is based on an eulerian discretisation of the navier-stokes equations on fixed staggered curvilinear grids where the media are located thanks to volume of fluid functions. An adaptative and local mesh refinement method (AMR) is proposed to allow multi-space scale solutions in three dimensions and a tensorial penalty (or fictious domain) approach is detailed for the numerical modelling of incompressibility, velocity/pressure coupling and liquid/solid interactions in multi fluid flows. The article is focussed on three-dimensional applications of the direct numerical simulation. The DNS tool is applied to the mould filling under unstable viscous jet conditions, the stoke’s flow induced by a solid particle in a tube and the turbulent wave breaking in deep water. These flows are chosen to highlight the abilities of the numerical model for characterising unsteady incompressible multiphase flows.

Abstract A three dimensional finite element scheme for Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of viscoelastic two phase flows is implemented. The scheme uses the Level Set Method to track the interface and the Marchuk-Yanenko operator splitting technique to decouple the difficulties associated with the governing equations. Using this numerical scheme, the shape of Newtonian drops in a simple shear flow of viscoelastic fluid and vice versa are analyzed as a function of Capillary number, Deborah number and polymer concentration. The viscoelastic fluid is modeled via the Oldroyd-B model. The role of viscoelastic stresses in deformation of a drop subjected to simple shear flow and its effect on the steady state shape is analyzed. Our results compare favorably with existing experimental data and also help in understanding the role of viscoelastic stresses in drop deformation.

A two-dimensional and three-dimensional non-stationary problem of the interaction of a homogeneous impactor and a heterogeneous structure made of steel and ceramics and placed in a Kevlar pocket is considered. The model of the human body is a plate of gelatine with cylindrical inserts-imitators of human bones. The results of numerical simulation using different approaches for describing heterogeneous media are compared. On the basis of direct numerical simulation, it is shown that the gradient armor plate (steel + B4C) has the best weight and size parameters.
