Abstract

A method to predict sub-filter shear-induced velocities on a liquid-gas phase interface for use in a dual scale LES model is presented. The method reconstructs the sub-filter velocity field in the vicinity of the interface by introducing a vortex sheet at the interface. The vortex sheet is transported by an unsplit geometric volume and surface area advection scheme with a Piecewise Linear Interface Construction (PLIC) representation of the material interface. At each step and desired location the shear-induced velocities can be calculated by integrating the vortex sheet and other relevant quantities over the liquid-gas surface with the sub-grid velocity reconstruction limited to a small number of cells near the phase interface. The vortex sheet method is tested and compared against prior literature.
