Numerical simulation of two-phase fluid flow and heat transfer with or without phase change using a volume-of-fluid model

Summary, in English

Numerical simulations of two-phase fluid flow and heat transfer with or without phase change have been carried out. The Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) model was used in the simulations, and a procedure for considering the phase change process was developed. The Piecewise Linear Interface Calculation (PLIC) method is employed for the interface reconstruction, to keep the sharp interface. The coupling between pressure and velocity is treated by the SIMPLEC algorithm. The surface tension is modeled by the Continuum Surface Force (CSF) model. An in-house code has been developed, and two examples are presented in this paper, i.e., dam-break case and a falling water droplet in a steam bath. The calculation results are compared with corresponding experimental data, and good agreement is obtained. Copyright
