Numerical simulation of two-phase flow and heat transfer in a composite duct

Author

Summary, in English

In this work, a three-dimensional computational method has been further developed for a composite duct, to analyze water phase change and liquid water saturation level, two-phase flow and heat transfer in a multi-component mixture. The duct under consideration consists of a flow duct, porous layer and solid structure. Advanced boundary conditions are applied in the analysis, concerning the thermal boundary conditions, mass consumption and generation appearing on the active surface, interfacial conditions between the flow duct and the porous layer etc. The coupled effects of species composition, mass transfer, phase change/balance have been taken into account. It has been found that the two-phase flow is sensitive to the operating parameters, and liquid water transport is dominated by diffusion in the porous layer, based on its mass composition gradient.
