- Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) solver with phasechange for cavitating flows coupled with Lagrangian library
- Conversion of small VOF elements to Lagrangian parcels to reduce computational cost
- Support for
- Particle-particle interaction (collision, coalescence) and secondary breakup
- Solving RP equation or simplified RP equation for discrete bubbles
- Adaptive mesh refinement
- Fully parallelized
- Based on interPhaseChangeFoam
- First, compile the library libVOFDBM in the src folder.
- Afterwards, compile the solver VOFDBMcavitationFoam in the application folder.
