DiskEntry

We are investigating the wall effect on the splash formation from a disk entry, in collaboration Multiphase Flow Research Laboratory (MFRL) at Lakehead University, using experimental and numerical methods.

In this experiment I present the setup of our first preliminary numerical simulation. The 3" disk was dropped from a 30 cm height, into a water tank of 15x15 cm2. For these #OpenFOAM model, we are using a moving mesh technique (via dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh), instead of overset grids, reducing the computational cost significatively.

There is also a case using Adaptive Mesh Refinement, through a custom dynamic mesh library and boundary conditions

Getting Started

For tank15-t153-M3:

• Run the prepare.sh to generate the mesh and setup the simulation.
• Then run the case with interIsoFoam

For tank15-t153-M5-AMR:

• Compile the dynamicMotionSolverRefineFvMesh library with wmake libso
• Compile the sixDoFRigidBodyVelocity library with wmake libso
• Run the prepare.sh to generate the mesh and setup the simulation.
• Then run the case with interIsoFoam
