Local and Parallel Mixed-Precision Finite Element Methods for the Time-Dependent Incompressible Flows

The approximational solution is decomposed into large and small eddy components. The high-precision solver is used to obtain the large eddy components and the low-precision solver is used to obtain the small eddy components since that the small eddy components carry a little part of the total energy. Numerical tests present the efficiency of the mixed-precision method.

Cavitation Implementation Algorithms Based on Pressure Projection Method for Incompressible Flows With Three-Phase Interactions

A cavitation implementation algorithm is developed using a pressure-based method for incompressible flows with three-phase interactions, which involve high Reynolds number multi-phase turbulent flows interacting with moving bodies of complex geometries.

An Extended Height-Function Method for 3D VOF Simulations of Wetting Phenomena on Super-Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Surfaces

An extended height function method for 3D VOF simulations applicable to the wetting phenomena on super-hydrophilic and super-hydrophobic surfaces is proposed. By implementing specific treatments of contact line identification and height function construction, reflecting the contact angle boundary condition, the proposed method ensures the first- or second-order convergence of the curvature at the contact line for a wide range of contact angles. Additionally, droplet spreading driven by surface tension on solid walls can be reproduced.
