Artificial surf reef in Australia Offshore wind turbines in Denmark
OpenFOAM for interfacial flow simulations at DHI
#3
The Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method
Cell volume fractions: 0 ≤ 𝛼𝑖 ≤ 1Video link
Interface advection in OpenFOAM/interFoam
Algebraic VOF method:
Interface compression
with MULES limiter
Not shape preserving!
Do alternatives exist?
Geometric VOF methods
Complex and expensive
#4
Simple pure advection test:
Circle in constant flow
Video link
#5
isoAdvector: a new geometric VOF method
Novelty:
1.
Interface reconstruction
based on isosurfaces
2.
Interface advection/
VOF fluxing step
based on geometric
plane-polygon
intersection.

Circular disc in constant flow on hex mesh
dx = Radius/5
CFL = 0.5
Exact solution
0.5 contour
0.01 contour
0.99 contour
isoAdvector MULES
IsoAdvector MULES HRIC CICSAM (0.5)
#7
dx = R/5
dx = R/10
dx = R/2.5
CFL = 0.5
IsoAdvector is slightly
faster than HRIC and
CICSAM, and 2-4 times
faster than MULES

IsoAdvector works on unstructured meshes
Pure advection test cases with tetrahedral cells:
Sphere in constant velocity field Sphere in analytical, time-
reversed velocity field
