Abstract
This present work presents numerical simulations of multiphase flow with compressibility effects. The multiphase flow is modeled with the volume of fluid technic, and the compressibility is modeled using a pressure-based calculation method. All of the simulations were carried out using a computational code that was developed at home (MFSim - Multiphysics Simulator). Several validation cases were performed. Consistent qualitative results are obtained, and corresponding quantitative results compare well with the analytical solutions and the reference results that other authors have published.
