Deformation of free surface under pressure– 2D model with surface tension

muriel carin, universite de bretagne sud

This model is concerned with the simulation of incompressible Newtonian fluid flow problems with surface tension. The fluid is initially at rest in a square tank. A Gaussian pressure is applied on the free surface which deformed the initially flat surface. This model is developed for a 2D transient analysis. The movement and deformation of the computational domain are accounted for by employing the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) description of the fluid kinematics.
To visualize the results, you need to solve the comsol file.
