Eulerian and Lagrangian Method for Numerical Analysis of Gas-Liquid Two-Phase Flow

Abstract

The methods to simulate gas-liquid two-phase flow have developed due to the progress of the computer technology and computational fluid dynamics. Then, the simulation methods lead the useful information in the industrial field and the detailed results that could not be obtained by the experimental methods. In this review, these methods are classified into the Eulerian method and the Lagrangian method. This report focuses on the interface capturing technique of each method. Detailed capturing procedure, the typical results and advantage/disadvantage of each method are disscussed.
