A New Computational Fluid Dynamics Solver to Simulate Capture, Coalescence and Drainage in Coalescing Filter Media

This paper presents a method for coupling volume-of-fluid and discrete Lagrangian particle tracking methods to allow simulation oil-mist or coalescing filters, and ultimately gauge their effectiveness.The solver is built on the open-source OpenFOAM CFD libraries, which are extended to include a phys...
