Abstract

A series of two‐dimensional (2D), axisymmetric and three‐dimensional (3D) numerical flow simulations using an implicit large Eddy simulation (ILES) are carried out for gravity‐driven fluid flows. The results are compared directly with experiments undertaken to test the model. Two‐dimensional results show that the Large Eddy algorithm is successful in modelling a gravity current's large scale structure. Examination of the 3D results shows that macroscopic features of the flow (the lobe and cleft instability) observed at the interface between the light and dense fluid are also modelled well.

MacCormack's explicit time-marching scheme is used to solve the full Navier±Stokes unsteady, compressible equations for internal ¯ows. The requirement of a very ®ne grid to capture shock as well as separated ¯ows is circumvented by employing grid clustering. The numerical scheme is applied for axisy

The numerical solution of a model describing a two-dimensional fluidized bed is considered. The model takes the form of a hyperbolic system of conservation laws with source term, coupled with an elliptic equation for determining a streamfunction. Operator splitting is used to produce homogeneous one
