Abstract

Two-phase flows with moving objects are commonly used in practical engineering products. This study is subject to investigate the effect of the micro particles in the exhausted gas from the rocket engine to the strong pressure waves and the thermal conductance modification due to the water film around the menisci in the heat pipes. These multiphase flows that are important from the points of the industrial application and the academic interest must be solved by the large scaled simulation.

Reasons for using JSS2

The micro scaled flow is solved by Direct Numerical Simulation for the statistical analysis and modelling to predict the macro scaled flow phenomena and applies to the design of the products. The multiphase flow simulation like a gas-particle flow based on Cartesian mesh and immersed boundary method, however, becomes expensive in order to capture the interaction between particles and flows. Also, the number of the time integration becomes large due to obtain the equilibrium state of the gas-particle flows. The gas-liquid two-phase flow simulation becomes large scale due to the restriction of the time increment from the surface tension.

Achievements of the Year

We conducted large scale numerical simulations of flow including multiple particles at low Reynolds number and high Mach number based on immersed boundary method and Cartesian mesh. Also, accuracy of heat transfer between sphere and fluid was confirmed by comparing with the result by boundary-fitted grid.

In addition, a numerical method to solve gas-liquid two-phase flows in heat pipes was developed and applied to thermos-fluid phenomena in a heat pipe. A rising bubble problem was used to the validation of the flow solver consisting of conservative level set method.
