Cover Story: Scale-resolving simulations are carried out to predict the shock-induced breakup of a water droplet in air. The compressible flow governing equations are solved by means of a finite volume-based numerical method, with the volume-of-fluid technique being employed to track the air–water interface on the dynamically adaptive mesh. The three-dimensional analysis is conducted in the shear stripping regime, examining the drift, deformation, and breakup of the droplet. The comparison against reference experimental and numerical data provides evidence that the adopted computational approach has significant practical potential. The present approach is able to locally reproduce unsteady small-scale flow structures, offering a viable alternative to higher-fidelity, more costly numerical methods. View this paper
