SIMULATION OF LARGE BUBBLE SYSTEMS

A technique for the direct numerical simulation of threedimensional flows containing large numbers of deformable particles at finite Reynolds numbers is presented. A fronttracking technique developed for the solution of multiphase flows is parallelized using the distributed memory model and an approach appropriate to the physical problem. Initial results for the rise of 64 bubbles due to buoyancy are shown.
