--- res: bibo_abstract: - "Abstract\r\n In two-phase flows in which the Capillary number is low, errors in the computation of the surface tension force at the interface cause Front-Capturing methods such as Volume of Fluid (VOF) and Level-Set (LS) to develop interfacial spurious currents. To better solve low Capillary number flows, special treatment is required to reduce such spurious currents. Smoothing the phase indicator field to more accurately compute the curvature or adding interfacial artificial viscosity are techniques that can treat this problem. This study explores OpenFOAM, Fluent and StarCCM+ VOF solvers for the classical case of a static bubble/droplet immersed in a continuous aqueous phase, with the focus on the ability of these solvers to adequately reduce spurious currents. The results are expected to be helpful for practicing chemical engineers who use multiphase CFD solvers in their work.@eng" bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Venkatesh foaf_name: Inguva, Venkatesh foaf_surname: Inguva foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=75069 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Andreas foaf_name: Schulz, Andreas foaf_surname: Schulz foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=63109 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Eugeny foaf_name: Kenig, Eugeny foaf_surname: Kenig foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=665 bibo_volume: 17 dct_date: 2022^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1934-2659 - http://id.crossref.org/issn/2194-6159 dct_language: eng dct_title: 'On methods to reduce spurious currents within VOF solver frameworks.
