Abstract

In this talk, we proposes a novel two-phase magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) diffuse interface model based on the mass-conserved Allen-Cahn equation and derives its associated energy equation. By integrating the unified SAV-ZEC approach, a technique for converting an implicit integral to explicit form, and a second-order pressure projection method, we design a highly efficient and massconserving numerical scheme, transforming the complex coupled saddle point problem into several univariate elliptic type equations. This scheme first achieves complete decoupling of all variables while holding second-order accuracy in time. Then, we rigorously prove the well-posedness and unconditional energy stability of the scheme. The effectiveness of the model and the scheme are validated by simulating several benchmark problems. Numerical simulations confirm that the magnetic field suppresses the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability, and reveal a new mechanism: the suppression effect of a normal applied magnetic field is more significant than that of a tangential applied one. Furthermore, simulations of the droplet dripping process show that the applied magnetic field also inhibits droplet formation. Interestingly, the suppression effect is again more pronounced for a normally applied field.
