Abstract: |
Lagrangian particle tracking is widely used to model two-phase flows such as high-velocity dense sprays. The effects due to sprays and chemical reactions on the continuous gas phase are modeled via the addition of appropriate source terms to the gas phase equations. Problems in this approach occur due to the dependence of the liquid-gas coupling on the spatial resolution of the gas phase. The objective of this research project is to develop a general method which reduces or eliminates these mesh dependencies by improving upon methods used for the liquid-gas coupling, particularly mass and momentum exchange. |
