Abstract

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is carried out to evaluate the early stages of the aerobreakup of a cylindrical water column due to the impact of a travelling plane shock wave. The mean flow in a shock tube is simulated by adopting the compressible unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes modelling approach, where the governing equations are solved by means of a finite volume-based numerical technique. The volume of fluid method is employed to track the transient interface between air and water on the fixed numerical mesh. The present computational modelling approach for industrial gas dynamics applications is verified to have significant practical potential by making a comparison with reference experiments and numerical simulations.
