VOF modeling

yoni.pestes · September 16, 2012, 05:26

hello
i want to use VOF to model the flow of more then 2 fluids
is it possible to use it for more then 2 fluids like maybe 4-5 different fluids
and to see how they flow in a 3D system?

Hi

I do not have experience in modelling 4-5 fluids using VOF. You might face many difficulties. Yes theoretically, you can model them with VOF. VOF will treat fluid 1 as primary and remaining all will be considered as secondary fluids. Before using VOF, please take care of interface shape and fluid should be immiscible.

Best wishes

Yes you can simulate more than 2 fluids as you want the number of phases mentioned in VOF panel have a look.
