Introduction to Comprehensive Multiphase Flow Concepts

This tutorial introduces and talks about Comprehensive Multiphase Flow Concepts and available Models in ANSYS Fluent, namely, the VOF, Eulerian, and Mixture Multiphase Models. You will first see a general introduction to the definition of Multiphase Flows, an overview of the available simulation techniques, and different models that can be used to simulate Multiphase Flows in ANSYS Fluent.

This tutorial video covers the following subsections:

• Overview of Multiphase flows
• Classification of Multiphase flows
  • Gas-Solid
  • Gas-Liquid
  • Liquid-Solid
  • ...
• Multiphase flow regimes
  • Bubbly
  • Slug
  • Churn
  • Annular
  • ...
• Eulerian-Lagrangian vs. Eulerian-Eulerian approaches
• VOF model and its applications
• Eulerian model and its applications
• Mixture model and its applications
• Choosing among Eulerian, Mixture, and VOF
  • Categorizing different models based on their applications
  • Merits and demerits of each model
  • ...
• Summary

This tutorial video is the 1^st episode of the Comprehensive Multiphase Flow Training Course.
