Hysing benchmark
Introduction
This case is a reference test case for VoF simulations. It is the case number 26 of the 3D quantitative benchmark configuration by [1]. The case is also available as an example from the Basilisk website [1] and is detailed in the article of Cano-Lozano [1]. It consists in a single rising bubble in a large tank. In the physical conditions of this case, the rising bubble undergoes a spiralling path.
Setting up the test case in OpenFOAM
The bubble rises along +z direction and is initialized as a sphere at z_0/D_0 = 3:5, where D_0 is the bubble initial diameter. The fluid domain is of size 32x32x128 D_0.
The density ratio ρ_1/rho;_2 between the fluids is 1000 and the dynamic viscosity ratio μ_1/mu;_2 is 100. Index 1 refers to the continuous liquid phase while index 2 refers to the gas phase. The chosen Bond/Eotvos number Bo = ρ_1 g D_0^2= 10 and Galilei number Ga = (ρ_1 g^{1/2} D_0^{3/2})/μ_1 = 100.25 classify the current bubble in the oscillatory dynamics regime, with dominant inertial forces [2]. In the simulations, the gravity g and �first phase density ρ_1 are taken as unity, which gives a surface tension σ = 0.1Nm^{-1} and a rise velocity of the order of unity.
