Inquiry about Basilisk capabilities for multiphase flow simulations

[Ali Heshmati]

Dear All,

I am exploring CFD software options for my research. I am particularly interested in whether Basilisk could be applied to my case, which involves simulating a 3D rising bubble in water under an oscillating velocity field.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly provide some clarification on the following points:

1.     I understand that Basilisk supports two-phase flows with interface tracking, and I have reviewed forum discussions and tested some 2D axisymmetric bubble formation cases. However, I noticed some possible inaccuracies regarding bubble generation from a nozzle. Could you clarify the current capabilities and limitations in this context, particularly regarding solid interaction?

2.     Is it possible to impose wave-like, periodic, or oscillating velocity boundary conditions in Basilisk?

3.     Does Basilisk support GPU acceleration, and how well does it scale on supercomputers or HPC clusters?

Thank you very much for your time and support. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,
Ali Heshmati
