Surface Tension and Viscosity with Lagrangian Hydrodynamics on a Triangular Mesh
Abstract
Numerical algorithms for surface tension and viscosity are presented in the context of a Lagrangian treatment of incompressible hydrodynamics with a dynamically restructuring grid. New algorithms are given which update previous Lagrangian approaches in the code SPLISH. Test problems involving internal gravity and capillary waves, an oscillating droplet and a viscous shear layer are described. An example is given of a flow calculated in and around a viscous droplet with surface tension in a shear flow.
