SUPG Finite Element Formulation for a Two-Fluid Model

This paper presents a Finite Element model for incompressible laminar two-phase flows. A two-fluid model, describing the laminar non-equilibrium flow of two incompressible phases, is discretized by means of a properly designed SUPG finit element procedure consistent with a continuous pressure equation. The design and the implementationof the algorithm are presented together with its validation through a comparison with simulations available in literature.
