TL;DR: In this paper, a new class of algorithms that preserve mass exactly for incompressible flows on a Cartesian mesh is presented, which are equivalent to volume-of-fluid advection methods which are decomposed into an Eulerian implicit scheme in one direction followed by a Lagrangian explicit step in the other one.

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical comparison of two-phase and single phase of heat transfer and flow field of copper-water nanofluid in a wavy channel is performed.
Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to survey numerically comparison of two-phase and single phase of heat transfer and flow field of copper-water nanofluid in a wavy channel The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) prediction is used for heat transfer and flow prediction of the single phase and three different two-phase models (mixture, volume of fluid (VOF), and Eulerian) The heat transfer coefficient, temperature, and velocity distributions are investigated The results show that the differences between the temperature field in the single phase and two-phase models are greater than those in the hydrodynamic field Also, it is found that the heat transfer coefficient predicted by the single phase model is enhanced by increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles for all Reynolds numbers; while for the two-phase models, when the Reynolds number is low, increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles will enhance the heat transfer coefficient in the front and the middle of the wavy channel, but gradually decrease along the wavy channel
