Computations of Homogeneous-Equilibrium Two-Phase Flows with Accurate and Efficient Shock-Stable Schemes

For accurate and efficient computations of compressible gas-liquid two-phase mixture flows, the AUSMPW+ and RoeM schemes (for which the accuracy, efficiency, and robustness have been successfully demonstrated in gas dynamics) are extended to two-phase flows at all speeds. From the mixture equations of state, a new shock-discontinuity-sensing term suitably scaled for two-phase flows is derived and its performance is validated. In addition, several numerical difficulties appearing in the development of the two-phase AUSMPW+ and RoeM schemes are analyzed and successfully cured. The two-phase AUSMPW+ and RoeM schemes are then efficiently preconditioned for the simulation of all Mach number flows by employing the existing AUSM or Harten-Lax-van Leer with contact restoration types of preconditioning strategies. Various gas-liquid two-phase flows, from highly compressible to nearly incompressible flow conditions, are tested. The numerical results show the accurate and robust behavior of the proposed schemes for all speeds of two-phase flows.
