The Collision and Evaporation of a Droplet with a Heated Particle Samantha Chong, Curtin University Supervisors: DrRanjeetUtikar Dr Monica Gumulya
Introduction to Problem • Investigate the behavior of droplet • Mechanism of droplet interacting with hot solid surface • Dynamics of droplet can be affected by Weber number (Mitra et al. 2013) • Achieve a good agreement between numerical and experimental results
Approach • Manipulate the parameters: • Impact velocity (completed) • Droplet diameter (on-going) • Temperature of spherical particle (on-going) • Simulate 3D CFD model of droplet impact on solid spherical surface • Use “ParaView” to display the results
Approach – Altering Impact Velocity • Diameter of droplet = 0.0031m • Surface tension = 0.0735N/m • Gravitational force = 9.8m/s2 • Density of droplet = 998kg/m3 Controlled variables Impact Velocities: 1). 0.435962 m/s 2). 0.998903 m/s 3). 1.412661 m/s
Conclusion and Reflection • Higher velocity, higher We number, leads to more splashing and disintegration of droplet • Lower velocity, lower We number, no breakup is to occur • Good agreement with the high speed images from experiments is obtained
