Abstract
The Navier-Stokes-Korteweg (NSK) equations are a classica l diffuse-interface model for compressible two-phase flows. As direct numerical simulations based on the NSK system are quite expensive and in some cases even im possible, we consider a relaxation of the NSK system, for which robust num erical methods can be designed. However, time steps for explicit numerical schemes depend on the relaxation parameter and therefore numerical simulati ons in the relaxation limit are very inefficient. To overcome this restriction, we p ropose an implicit- explicit asymptotic-preserving finite volume method. We pr ove that the new scheme provides a consistent discretization of the NSK syst em in the relaxation limit and demonstrate that it is capable of accurately and effi ciently computing numerical solutions of problems with realistic density rat ios and small interfacial widths.
