Non-Diffusive Volume Advection with A High Order Interface Reconstruction Method

We show that non-diffusive volume advection in two-dimensions is achieved with several benchmark problems using a newly developed high-order volume of fluids (VOF) interface reconstruction method. (1) A new VOF interface reconstruction method using circular/corner facets (linear facets are a degenerate case of arcs). We create a circular interface facet in each mixed zone by matching neighbor volume with a hybrid Newton’s-bisection method and the local solution is final. In the general case, the new VOF interface reconstruction has 3rd order accuracy and can be easily made seamless. The new method addresses intrinsic issues with Young’s method such as gaps between interface facets in the case of a curved interface, and inability to define curvature nor identify corners. (2) A non-diffusive volume advection scheme. In an ALE advection step, a well-defined interface can be carried over through a Lagrange step and used to compute volume distribution into a relaxed mesh. Then, an interface reconstruction step is performed to redefine the interface in the relaxed mesh. We must point out that the interface carried over is also a solution of interface reconstruction because all the volume fractions in the relaxed mesh are naturally matched. We provide an interface tracking method compatible with our reconstruction scheme, where it is granted to use the prior info as an initial guess to capture sub-mesh resolution features. As a result, we are able to treat multiple facets inside a single mixed cell and obtain highly accurate, non-diffusive solution for advection problems with rather coarse meshes. We show our solutions for two-dimensional incompressible flows with two materials with a) the X + O diagonal translation; b) the Zalesak rotational test; and c) the single vortex spiral test.

Probing turbulence with lasers and coherent light sources

Fluid and plasma turbulence consists of multi-scale interactions where the energy of the large scales is dissipated through a cascade to the smallest scales set by the microphysics. Turbulence and mixing can be detrimental to system performance, such as in inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Our current understanding of turbulence is mostly derived from studies of incompressible flows, where the intermediate-scaled eddies in the “inertial range” bridge the transfer of energy from the large eddies to the dissipative range, and that there is no communication between eddies of disparate scales. Whether a similar cascade process exists for compressible turbulence, however, remains to be seen; experiments have been limited by diagnostics and supersonic flow facilities. This project has focused on the development of techniques to measure the evolution of flows and microphysical transport properties using particle tracking velocimetry. This project has investigated three main areas: (1) particle-tracking experiments with x-ray radiography, (2) shock-particle interactions, (3) quantifying viscous effects on particles in shocked flows.
