11 Aug 1995TL;DR: The numerical model SKYLLA as discussed by the authors is developed for simulation of breaking waves on coastal structures and is based on the volume of fluid method and solves the 2DV Navier-Stokes equations.
Abstract: The numerical model SKYLLA, developed for simulation of breaking waves on coastal structures is described. The model is based on the Volume Of Fluid method and solves the two-dimensional (2DV) Navier-Stokes equations. Weakly reflecting boundary conditions allow waves to enter and leave the computational domain. Impermeable boundaries can be introduced to simulate a structure. A two-model approach can be used to simulate overtopping over a low crested structure. Results obtained with the model are compared with those obtained with physical model tests for waves on a 1:20 slope of a submerged structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, a vessel containing an unknown volume of fluid at a frequency at or near the Helmholtz resonance of the vessel is analyzed to compare its phase relationship to an electrical reference input signal.
Abstract: Acoustical energy is directed into a vessel containing an unknown volume of fluid at a frequency at or near the Helmholtz resonance of the vessel. The signal generated within the vessel is analyzed to compare its phase relationship to an electrical reference input signal. The volume of fluid in the vessel may then be determined from said phase relationship, such as by previous empirical calibration of the vessel.

TL;DR: In this paper, a discrete phase simulation is conducted to study the bubble and particle dynamics in a three-phase fluidized bed at high pressures, where the Eulerian volume-averaged method, the Lagrangian dispersed particle method, and the volume of fluid (VOF) method are employed to describe, respectively, the motion of liquid, solid particles, and gas bubbles.
