Basilisk jet benchmark visualization

A two-phase VOF case study that turns circular and rectangular-inlet benchmark outputs into an interpretable comparison of interface evolution, speed, diagnostic vorticity, and ambient context.

Overview

Scientific question

The data come from Basilisk two-phase VOF benchmark runs and postprocessing. The comparison asks which interface and scalar differences remain readable when the circular lead case is paired with a rectangular top-hat inlet.

Contribution

Curated contact sheets align interface surfaces, phase, speed, diagnostic vorticity, and ambient context while keeping the two inlet definitions explicit.

Basilisk motion sequences

These three hosted sequences visualize the Basilisk two-phase VOF benchmark. The related SPH page brings together the DualSPHysics videos.

Primary circular benchmark sequence

Basilisk two-phase VOF circular lead route. Native interface motion from the primary circular benchmark sequence.

Round vs rectangular comparison

Split-screen Basilisk comparison of the circular lead route with a 2:1 rectangular top-hat imposed inlet.

Scalar diagnostics

Basilisk field reel for phase, speed, diagnostic vorticity, and ambient context.

Selected figures

Contact sheets remain the static alternatives for the three Basilisk sequences above.

Comparison design

The circular route leads the comparison; the rectangular route is a secondary top-hat imposed-inlet case, keeping both inlet definitions explicit.

Workflow elements

  • Basilisk two-phase VOF benchmark outputs
  • Solver-derived interface and scalar diagnostics
  • Curated scalar-figure selection
  • Blender postprocessing for interface surfaces
  • Route-aware captions that preserve the meaning of each result

Practical value

The aligned figures make route differences and data availability visible at a glance, providing a clear scientific context for the separate VisualBasilisk visualization bridge.

Interpretable fields

Interface and scalar fields across two inlet definitions.

The figure set centers on interface, phase, speed, diagnostic vorticity, and ambient-context fields with informative exported variation across the circular and rectangular routes.
