A two pressure numerical model of two fluid mixing

We present a numericalmo delof two fluid mixing based on hyperbolic equations having complete state variables (velocity, pressure, temperature) for each fluid. The model is designed for the study of acceleration driven mixing layers in a chunk mix regime dominated by large scale coherent mixing structures. The numericalsol ution of the modelis validated by comparison to the incompressible limit. For the purpose of this comparison, we present a newly obtained analytic solution of the pressure equation for this modeland an analytic constraint derived from the asymptotic limit of the compressible pressures, which determines uniquely the incompressible pressure solution. The numerical solution is also validated by a mesh convergence study.
