Simulation of Multiphase Flows with Heat and Mass Transfer in Unstructured Meshes



constr Numerical simulation is an important tool to solve two-phase problems found in many engineering problems. Therefore, a project in the thematic line of multiphase flow simulation, which has important applications in the area of petroleum, micro-reactors and biomechanics. The project’s emphasis is on the development of numerical simulation methods based on unstructured meshes, for flows that presents two or more distinct phases. The method proposed seek to combine flexibility and efficiency, in order to make simulation of more complex phenomena, such as the formation and evolution of hydrate particles in lines oil production submarines, flow modeling with particulates and simulation of multiphase flows in capillaries. The project will be developed at COPPE/Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
