Numerical schemes for the coupling of compressible and incompressible fluids in several space dimensions

Abstract

We present a numerical scheme for immiscible two-phase flows with one compressible and one incompressible phase. Special emphasis lies in the discussion of the coupling strategy for compressible and incompressible Euler equations to simulate inviscid liquid-vapour flows. To reduce the computational effort further, we also introduce two approximate coupling strategies. The resulting schemes are compared numerically to a fully compressible scheme and show good agreement with these standard algorithm at lower numerical costs.
