Numerical Modelling of Water Flashing at Sub-Atmopsheric Pressure with a Multi-Regime Approach

Modélisation numérique du flash d'eau à pression sub-atmosphérique avec une approche multi-régime

Résumé

The CFD numerical study of the flash boiling phenomenon of a water film was conducted using an Euler–Euler method, and compared to the experiments on the flashing of a water film. The water film is initially heated at temperatures ranging from 34 to 74 ∘C (frim 1 to 41 ∘C superheat), and the pressure is decreased from 1 bar to 50 mbar during the experiments. This paper shows that the experiments could not be correctly modelled by a simple liquid/bubble model because of the overestimation of the drag force above the water film (in the gas/droplet region). The generalised large interface model (GLIM), however, a multi-regime approach implemented in the version 7.0 of the neptune_cfd software, is able to differentiate the water film, where liquid/bubble interactions are predominant from the gas region where gas/droplet interactions are predominant, and gives nice qualitative results. Finally, this paper shows that the interfacial heat transfer model of Berne for superheated liquids could accurately predict the evolution of the water temperature over time.
