On the simulation of multicomponent and multiphase compressible flows (2006.01630v2)

Abstract: The following paper presents two simulation strategies for compressible two-phase or multicomponent flows. One is a full non-equilibrium model in which the pressure and velocity are driven towards the equilibrium at interfaces by numerical relaxation processes, the second is a four-equation model that assumes stiff mechanical and thermal equilibrium between phases or components. In both approaches, the thermodynamic behaviour of each fluid is modelled independently according to the stiffened-gas equations of state. The presented methods are used to simulate the de-pressurization of a pipe containing pure CO$_2$ liquid and vapour under the one-dimensional approximation.
