A phase-field model to simulate foams flowing in an obstructed channel


A phase-field model to simulate foams flowing in an obstructed channel

Lecrivain, G.; Heitkam, S.; Hampel, U.

Numerical simulations are a valid alternative for the investigation of flowing foams in two- and three-dimensional domains. Large advances in this field have for instance been achieved with the Surface Evolver [Brakke, 1992; Cox, 2006], which discretizes the air-liquid interfaces of the foam with a triangle mesh. A numerical model derived from the phase field theory is here suggested to simulate flowing foams with gas concentration (ε) ranging from 40 to 99%.
