TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the development and validation of a numerical model based on coupling a higher-order Boundary Element Method (BEM) solution of fully nonlinear potential flow equations to a VOF solution of Euler equations, in 3 dimensions (3-D).
Abstract: In this paper we describe the development and validation of a numerical model based on coupling a higher-order Boundary Element Method (BEM) solution of fully nonlinear potential flow equations to a Volume Of Fluid (VOF) solution of Euler equations, in 3 dimensions (3-D). The BEM solution is used as an initialization of the VOF/Navier-Stokes solver. Numerical simulations of breaking waves on sloping beaches for 2-D (using an earlier similar model) and 3-D flows are carried out. Finally, we simulate the breaking and post-breaking of a solitary wave over a sloping ridge in a 3-D numerical wave tank. We present an analysis of wave profiles and internal kinematics (velocity, vorticity, pressure).

TL;DR: In this article, the Thorpe experiment was used to model the occurrence of instabilities in a stratified two-phase flow and the results showed some discrepancies in terms of wave amplitudes, growing rates and a time shifting in the global dynamics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed direct numerical simulations to study the heat transfer within a suspension of neutrally buoyant, finite-size spherical particles in laminar and turbulent pipe flows, using the immersed boundary method to account for the solid fluid interactions and a volume of fluid (VoF) method to resolve the temperature equation both inside and outside the particles.
