The water column breakup induced by a traveling planar shock front in air was computationally investigated using a hybrid CFD methodology. The volume-of-fluid method for monitoring the interface between the two immiscible fluids was combined with the discrete phase model for capturing the dynamics of the water fragments. The compressible turbulent flow was simulated following the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes approach. The validity of the overall model for fluids engineering applications was demonstrated through comparisons with reference experimental and high-fidelity numerical data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
