摘要

针对曲面重构（CIR）算法在界面重构及体积分数法（VOF）方程求解过程中，由于采用分段逼近策略导致的经验性、精度损失和界面高度重复计算问题，提出了基于积分的曲面重构（ICIR）算法。该算法通过一系列处理策略，实现基于积分的体积分数求解，避免了对界面的经验性分段以及各分段界面高度的重复求解。测试结果表明：在随机重构1 000个圆形界面的静态测试中，相比CIR算法，ICIR算法的重构精度提升了7.71%，界面方程求解加速比为6.78；在简单汽泡水平移动测试和复杂时间反转单涡问题测试中，ICIR算法的精度相比CIR算法分别提升了3.96%和13.09%，计算耗时分别缩短了40.88%和68.31%。总体而言，ICIR算法显著提升了计算效率，并提高了重构界面的精度。

Abstract

To address the issues of empiricism

accuracy loss

and repeated calculation of interface heights caused by the piecewise approximation strategy in interface reconstruction and the volume of fluid equation solving using the circle-based interface reconstruction (CIR) algorithm

an integration circle-based interface reconstruction (ICIR) algorithm is proposed. This algorithm employs a series of processing strategies to achieve volume fraction solutions based on integration

effectively avoiding empirical interface segmentation and repeated solving of interface heights in each segment. Test results indicate that in a static test involving the random reconstruction of 1 000 circular interfaces

the ICIR algorithm improves reconstruction accuracy by 7.71% compared to the CIR algorithm

with an acceleration ratio of 6.78 for solving the interface equation. In the horizontal motion test of a simple vapor bubble and the complex time-reversed single-vortex test

the ICIR algorithm enhances accuracy by 3.96% and 13.09%

respectively

while computational efficiency improves by 40.88% and 68.31%. Overall

the ICIR algorithm significantly boosts computational efficiency and enhances the accuracy of interface reconstruction.
