The Laboratory for the computation of multiphase flows | Laboratoire de calcul des écoulements polyphasiques at Polytechnique Montréal, specializes in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with a focus on modelling and understanding multiphase flows—systems where different phases, such as gas-liquid or fluid-solid, interact dynamically. Our work bridges physical modelling and numerical computation to develop and utilize cutting-edge tools for predicting and analyzing these flows. Through our research, we aim to advance both fundamental understanding and practical applications of multiphase flow systems.
News and recent developments
March 26, 2025 | PolyCongRÉ 2025
Pierre is going to present his research at PolyCongRÉ 2025, a student conference dedicated to research in engineering at Polytechnique Montréal (26-28 March 2025), in the form of a poster. His work explores the influence of the finite propagation speed of the acoustic waves on the pressure-driven bubble dynamics in dense bubble clusters.
February 26, 2025 | New peer-reviewed paper published
The investigation of nonlinear acoustics requires sophisticated and tailored methods to advance the state of the art. In a new paper published in the SoftwareX, we present our software tool Wave-DNA for the simulation of nonlinear acoustic waves emitted by stationary or moving boundaries in quiescent or moving fluids. Wave-DNA, which is available open source, is based on the convective Kuznetsov equation, a second-order nonlinear acoustic wave equation that accounts for the background flow. A tailored finite-difference time-domain method with time-dependent coordinate transformation enables the accurate simulation of acoustic waves emitted by moving boundaries.
