A Front Tracking Algorithm for Liquid Jet Breakup

ORAL

Abstract

A numerical study of breakup of a high speed jet is presented using the Front Tracking method in 3D. A robust locally grid based method is applied to handle the topological change of the surface mesh in the simulation, the validation of the method is proved mathematically. Numerical results are presented for 3D simulation of the primary breakup of a liquid jet with turbulent inflow.
