Mass Coupling by Means of Lagrange Polynomials in the CFD Simulation of High-Velocity Dense Sprays 2005-01-1241
This investigation is a continuation of a previous study by these authors in which a Lagrange polynomial interpolation method was developed to evaluate spray source terms and also to distribute the source terms onto the gas mesh; the method was applied to the liquid-gas momentum exchange. For this investigation, the method has been extended to the mass exchange between the liquid and gas phases due to evaporation.
The Lagrange polynomial interpolation and source term distribution methods are applied to the liquid-gas mass and momentum exchange and are evaluated for evaporating sprays using KIVA3 as a modeling platform. These methods are compared with the standard “nearest neighbor” method of KIVA3, and experimental data are used to establish their validity. The evaluation criteria used include the liquid and vapor spray penetration, gas velocities and the computational stability. It has been found that the application of this method to mass coupling for evaporating sprays leads to improved mesh independence of the liquid spray penetrations and an increased stability of the numerical solver.
