A fully three-dimensional numerical procedure based on the two-fluid model in a general curvilinear co-ordinate system is proposed for the prediction of developing turbulent bubbly two-phase flow in a rotating complicated duct. A Coriolis-modified turbulence model is extended to two-phase flows to a

✦ Synopsis
The numerical solutions of inviscid rotational (Euler) flows were obtained using an explicit hexahedral unstructured cell vertex finite volume method. A second-order-accurate, one-step Lax -Wendroff scheme was used to solve the unsteady governing equations discretized in conservative form. The transonic circular bump, in which the location and the strength of the captured shock are well predicted, was used as the first test case. The nozzle guide vanes of the VKI low-speed turbine facility were used to validate the Euler code in highly 3D environment. Despite the high turning and the secondary flows which develop, close agreements have been obtained with experimental and numerical results associated with these test cases.

We show how to solve time-harmonic scattering problems by means of a highorder Nyström discretization of the boundary integral equations of wave scattering in 2D and 3D. The novel aspect of our new method is its use of local corrections to the discretized kernel in the vicinity of the kernel singula
