10 Rotating impeller DNS with BLUE's image
Description: The flow driven by a rotating impeller inside an open fixed cylindrical cavity is studied numerically using the code BLUE, a solver for massively parallel simulations of fully three-dimensional multiphase flows. The impeller is composed of four blades at a 45 degree inclination all attached to a central hub and tube stem. In BLUE, solid forms are constructed by means of a module for the definition of immersed objects via a distance function that takes into account the object's interaction with the flow for both single and two-phase flows. The fluid interface solver is based on a parallel implementation of a hybrid Front Tracking/Level Set method designed to handle highly deforming interfaces with complex topology changes. Parallel GMRES and multigrid iterative solvers are applied to the linear systems arising from the implicit solution for the fluid velocities and pressure in the presence of strong density and viscosity discontinuities across fluid phases.
