Immersed boundary methods

TL;DR: The term immersed boundary (IB) method is used to encompass all such methods that simulate viscous flows with immersed (or embedded) boundaries on grids that do not conform to the shape of these boundaries.

Level set methods: an overview and some recent results
Stanley Osher,Ronald Fedkiw +1 more
TL;DR: The level set method is couple to a wide variety of problems involving external physics, such as compressible and incompressible flow, Stefan problems, kinetic crystal growth, epitaxial growth of thin films, vortex-dominated flows, and extensions to multiphase motion.

Gretar Tryggvason,Bernard Bunner,Asghar Esmaeeli,Damir Juric,Nabeel Al-Rawahi,Warren Tauber,Jaehoon Han,Selman Nas,Y.-J. Jan +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a front-tracking method for multiphase flows is presented, which is based on writing one set of governing equations for the whole computational domain and treating the different phases as one fluid with variable material properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct numerical simulation of free-surface and interfacial flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the formation of droplet clouds or sprays that subsequently burn in combustion chambers, which is caused by interfacial instabilities, such as the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffuse-interface methods in fluid mechanics
TL;DR: Issues including sharp-interface analyses that relate these models to the classical free-boundary problem, computational approaches to describe interfacial phenomena, and models of fully miscible fluids are addressed.

The Deformation and Break-Up of Single Drops in Shear Fields
TL;DR: In this paper, a liquid drop of viscosity λμ and volume V is placed in another fluid with which it is immiscible, and it is desired to compute the deformation of this drop and the conditions under which it will break.
