3D numerical solution for quenching process using an adaptative multiphase flows
Résumé
We present in this paper the thermal modelling of the quenching process. Different stages of such process need to be treated, from nucleate boiling to generation and growth of a vapour film. The interface between each phase flow will be determined using a level set method. Surface tension is evaluated using the continuum surface force and a new method to compute the gradient directly at the nodes. The proposed method demonstrates the capability of the model to simulate detachment of a single bubble and the generation of film vapour from a heated source.
