Thin fluid film to VOF conversion

Lokanayaki · February 4, 2020, 02:13

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering whether there are any solvers in OpenFOAM which can handle conversion of thin fluid film to VOF. I wanted to convert thin fluid film to VOF when the thickness of fluid exceeds beyond a certain limit.

Highly appreciate any inputs.

Many thanks,
Poonkodi S

Hi Poonkodi,

there's a solver called "compressibleInterFilmFoam" which does exactly this.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan

Thank you so much for the reply.

I did try to look into the solver but unfortunately couldn't find any papers or theory behind the solver.

It will be very useful if you can share any info/papers on the solver.

Best,
Poonkodi S
