Accurate modeling of surface tension forces in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of multiphase flow is crucial for applications such as droplet formation and jet breakup, especially for interfaces with high surface tension and curvature. This work integrates a Tensile Force (TF) method in a geometric Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) solver. Unlike the Continuum Surface Force (CSF) model, the TF method calculates the surface tension force directly at the interface location, thus reducing the smearing of the force around the interface. Combination with a Pressure Jump Correction (PJC) further reduces the magnitude of the forces at the interface. This lowers the intensity of problematic spurious currents and allows the simulation of multiphase flows with high surface tension and curvature, which is typically challenging for the CSF method. We validate the TF method through several simulation test cases. Results show that the TF method reduces spurious velocities by an order of magnitude compared to the CSF model. The TF accurately models capillary instability in cases where the CSF model fails. Additionally, the TF model is combined with Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) to simulate droplet breakup. Typical features of the bag-breakup regime are successfully reproduced. Diameters and velocities of secondary droplets are predicted with reasonable agreement to experimental data. Simulation of primary breakup of a liquid aluminium jet in the gas atomization process demonstrates the TF model in industrially relevant conditions.

Multi-dimensional wavelet reduction for the homogenisation of microstructures
One of the recent fields of interest in computational homogenisation is the development of model order reduction frameworks to address the significant computational costs enabling fast and accurate evaluation of the microstructural volume element. Model order reduction techniques are applied to computationally challenging analyses of detailed micro- and or macro-structural problems to reduce both computational time and memory usage. In order to alleviate the costly integration, a wavelet-reduced order model for one-dimensional microstructural problems was presented in van Tuijl et al. (2019). This novel approach addresses both the large number of degrees of freedom and integration costs and provides control on errors in the microstructural fields. In this work, this wavelet reduced order model is extended to a multi-dimensional framework and benchmarked for more realistic multi-scale problems. The Wavelet-Reduced Order Model consists of two reduction steps. First, a Reduced Order Model is constructed to reduce the dimensionality of the microstructural model. Second, a wavelet representation is applied to reduce the integration costs of the microstructural model, whilst maintaining control over the local integration error. The multi-dimensional Wavelet-Reduced Order Model is demonstrated for a set of two-dimensional path-dependent microstructural models, evaluating their accuracy and reduction with respect to the full order models on the microstructural and homogenised fields.

This contribution starts with a discussion of various phenomena in laminated composite structures that can lead to failure: matrix cracking, delamination between plies, and debonding and subsequent pull-out between fibres and the matrix material. The different scales are discussed at which the effect of these nonlinearities can be analysed. From these scales – the macro, meso and micro-levels – the meso-level is normally used for the analysis of delamination, which is the focus of this contribution. At this level, the plies are modelled as continua and interface elements between them conventionally serve as the framework to model delamination and debonding. After a a derivation of interface elements and a brief discussion of the cohesive–zone concept and its importance for the analysis of delamination, a particular finite element model for the plies is elaborated: the solid–like shell. Next, a more recent method to numerically model delamination is discussed, which exploits the partition–of–unity property of finite element shape functions. This approach offers advantages over interface elements, as will be discussed in detail.
