Simulation of Bubbles Aggregation Process Base on Interface Compression Method

Interface compression method is a VOF model presented in recent years. In this paper, the difference between interface compression method and classic acceptor-donor methods was revealed. The advection test shown the interface compression method was more accurate than HRIC scheme. The bubble aggregation process was simulated by this method using open source CFD tool OpenFOAM. Simulation shown the method can accurately capture the interface in the process of bubble aggregation and the loop flow is a key factor in the process.
