3D ALE Finite-Element Method for Two-Phase Flows With Phase Change

John Richard Thome, Navid Borhani, Gustavo Rabello Dos Anjos

We seek to study numerically two-phase flow phenomena with phase change through the finite-element method (FEM) and the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) framework. This method is based on the so-called one-fluid formulation; thus, only one set of equati ...
