Analyzing complex fluid flow problems that involve multiple coupled domains, each with their respective set of governing equations, is not a trivial undertaking. Even more complicated is the elaborate and tedious task of specifying the…
In this paper we study a model of an interface between two fluids in a porous medium. For this model we prove several local and global well-posedness results and study some of its qualitative properties. We also provide numerics.
Phase field models for two-phase flow with a surfactant soluble in possibly both fluids are derived from balance equations and an energy inequality so that thermodynamic consistency is guaranteed. Via a formal asymptotic analysis, they are…
Two-phase flow systems in porous media have complex dynamics. It is well established that a wide range of system parameters like viscosities and porosity as well as flow parameters such as pressure gradient and fluid saturation have strong…
We report on generic relations between fractional flow and pressure in steady two-phase flow in porous media. The main result is a differential equation for fractional flow as a function of phase saturation. We infer this result from two…
We study the governing equations for the motion of the fluid particles near air-water interface from an energetic point of view. Since evaporation and condensation phenomena occur at the interface, we have to consider phase transition. This…
Balance laws of coupled bulk-surface-bulk fluid flows are considered. We carefully investigate how do the interface conditions influence the total mass, total momentum and total energy of the system.
The routes mechanical energy takes from injection to dissipation in the ocean are currently an open problem. The goals of this project are to: 1) Study the energy exchanges between near-inertial waves and the balanced flow using idealized…
In two-phase flow, the presence of inter-phasal surface - the interface - causes additional terms to appear in LES formulation. Those terms were ignored in contemporary works, for the lack of model and because the authors expected them to…
New diffuse interface and sharp interface models for soluble and insoluble surfactants fulfilling energy inequalities are introduced. We discuss their relation with the help of asymptotic analysis and present an existence result for a…
A coarse grained description of a two phase fluid is used to study the steady state configuration of the interface separating the coexisting phases, and the motion of the contact line at which the interface intersects a solid boundary. The…
We propose a variant of the $\theta$-scheme for diffuse interface models for two-phase flow, together with three new linearization techniques for the surface tension. These involve either additional stabilizing force terms, or a fully…
The present paper proposes a two-phase flow model that is able to account for two-scale kinematics and two-scale surface tension effects based on geometric variables at small scale. At large scale, the flow and the full geometry of the…
Interface between two phases of matter are ubiquitous in nature and technology. Determining the correct velocity condition at an interface is essential for understanding and designing of flows over a surface. We demonstrate that both the…
Many physical situations are characterized by interfaces with a non trivial shape so that relevant geometric features, such as interfacial area, curvature or unit normal vector, can be used as main indicators of the topology of the…
Two-phase outflows refer to situations where the interface formed between two immiscible incompressible fluids passes through open portions of the domain boundary. We present in this paper several new forms of open boundary conditions for…
