In this paper, a thermodynamically consistent numerical solution of the interfacial Riemann problem for the first-order hyperbolic continuum model of Godunov, Peshkov and Romenski (GPR model) is presented. In the presence of phase transition, interfacial physics are governed by molecular interaction on a microscopic scale, beyond the scope of the m...
Large-scale simulations pose significant challenges not only to the solver itself but also to the pre- and postprocessing framework. Hence, we present generally applicable improvements to enhance the performance of those tools and thus increase the feasibility of large-scale jobs and convergence studies. To accomplish this, we use a shared memory a...

The ghost fluid method allows a propagating interface to remain sharp during a numerical simulation. The solution of the Riemann problem at the interface provides proper information to determine interfacial fluxes as well as the velocity of the phase boundary. Then considering two-material problems, the initial states of the Riemann problem belong...
Within this work, a loosely-coupled high-order fluid-structure interaction (FSI) framework is developed in order to investigate the influence of an elastic panel response on shock-wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction (SWTBLI). Since high-order methods are expected to determine the future of high-fidelity numerical simulations, they are employe...

We present a dynamic load balancing scheme for compressible two-phase flows simulations using a high-order level-set ghost-fluid method. The load imbalance arises from introducing an element masking that applies the costly interface-tracking algorithm only to the grid cells near the phase interface. The load balancing scheme is based on a static do...
The Navier-Stokes-Korteweg (NSK) system is a classical diffuse interface model which is based on van der Waals' theory of capillarity. Diffuse interface methods have gained much interest to model two-phase flow in porous media. However, for the numerical solution of the NSK equations two major challenges have to be faced. First, an extended numeric...
A core aspect in the simulation of compressible fluid flow is the solution of Riemann problems. The solution is well understood for single-phase flows and is used to define numerical fluxes for finite volume and discontinuous Galerkin schemes. However, the solution of two-phase Riemann problems with phase transitions is still an active field of res...
In the last decades, the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) approach has been one of the most popular choices to deal with fluid flows including moving boundaries.

Hybrid simulation methods are state of the art in computational aeroacoustics. The acoustic sources rely on an accurate prediction of the underlying hydrodynamic field, typically computed with low-fidelity simulation models. In complex flows, low-fidelity models reach their limit. Thus, computationally intense high-fidelity models like wall-resolve...
In this work, we present a novel hybrid Discontinuous Galerkin scheme with hp-adaptivity capabilities for the compressible Euler equations. In smooth regions, an efficient and accurate discretization is achieved via local p-adaptation. At strong discontinuities and shocks, a finite volume scheme on an h-refined element-local subgrid gives robustnes...
Shock‐wave/turbulent boundary‐layer interactions are still a challenge for numerical simulation. The shock capturing needs dissipation to avoid spurious oscillations while turbulence will be falsified by introducing dissipation. Especially, an accurate prediction of quantities such as the skin‐friction coefficient inside the interaction area of sho...
