Eulerian multiphase flow modelling: bubbly flow with phase change

Phase change phenomena such as evaporation and condensation are encountered frequently in daily life and technical applications. However, reliable numerical simulation of these processes is still challenging mainly due to insufficient knowledge on the mechanism of interfacial mass, momentum and energy exchanges. In the context of two-fluid model, developing and applying general closures for the representation of interfacial structures and exchanging processes is of great significance. In the presentation the HZDR baseline modelling approach for poly-dispersed bubbly flow with details on bubble size, interfacial area density, sub-cooled wall boiling as well as interphase heat transfer coefficient will be introduced. Application examples for condensing, flash evaporating and wall boiling flows will be presented.
