Water agitation image

Water agitation in a closed tank

The overInterDyMFoam solver and Chimera (overset) grids were used for OpenFOAM.

Flow in porous image

Multiphase flow in porous media

The multiphase flow solver was developed using C++ for OpenFOAM with HPC.

The multiphase flow solver was developed using C++ for OpenFOAM with HPC.

This solver is able to handle gas-oil-water-particle 4 phase flow with VOF (volume of fluid).

In the animation, the porosity is 0.3; the gas was colored by blue; water was colored by red; oil was colored by grey; solid particles were colored by particle sizes.
