PIC Calculations of Multiphase Flow
Abstract
The Particle-in-Cell method for the numerical solution of problems in fluid dynamics has been extended to the study of shock and rarefaction flows in a multiphase mixture. To test the numerical procedure, we have examined the propagation of sound signals through a mixture in which the theoretical speed is appreciably less than that of either material separately, with results that validate the calculational technique.
