Energy-stable numerical method for compressible flow with generalized Navier boundary condition

In this paper, we derive a dimensionless model for pure-component two-phase compressible flows with Van der Waals equation of state (EoS) and generalized Navier boundary condition (GNBC). We propose three energy-stable numerical schemes. One of them is based on the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach for Helmholtz free energy for bulk and surface free energy, which leads to a modified energy and is proved to be uncondi-tional stable. Another numerical scheme is based on the Lagrange multiplier approach for Helmholtz free energy for bulk and surface free energy, which leads to the original en-ergy and is proved to be unconditional stable. Numerical results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
