TY  - JOUR
AB  - A novel control volume finite element method with adaptive anisotropic unstructured meshes is presented for threedimensional threephase flows with interfacial tension. The numerical framework consists of a mixed control volume and finite element formulation with a new P1DGP2 elements (linear discontinuous velocity between elements and quadratic continuous pressure between elements). A “volume of fluid” type method is used for the interface capturing, which is based on compressive control volume advection and secondorder finite element methods. A forcebalanced continuum surface force model is employed for the interfacial tension on unstructured meshes. The interfacial tension coefficient decomposition method is also used to deal with interfacial tension pairings between different phases. Numerical examples of benchmark tests and the dynamics of threedimensional threephase rising bubble, and droplet impact are presented. The results are compared with the analytical solutions and previously published experimental data, demonstrating the capability of the present method.
