WALL IMPACT MODELLING - OVERVIEW
prediction of regimes and outcomes of droplet or solid particle impact on
wall.
regime can depend on: droplet dynamics; surface temperature,
roughness, material……
outcome can include deposition, secondary breakup…….
solid particle impact can lead to wall erosion

prediction of dynamics, heat/mass transfer, melting/solidification of thin liquid film on wall
film may be result of spray impact, condensation, melting, inlet boundary……..
interaction with adjacent fluid phase via interface boundary conditions and special deposition and stripping models.
modelled by solving Eulerian conservation equations in special way, avoiding need for fine mesh across film.
LIQUID FILM MODELLING - OVERVIEW
• assume film thin, laminar, locally smooth
• express Eulerian conservation equations in integral form across film thickness δ
in wall-normal direction n,
• assume normalised wall-tangential velocities and
temperature, concentrations vary quadratically across film
• result is two-dimensional conservation equations for film thickness δ, mean
velocity umean; temperature Tmean etc as functions of wall-tangential coordinates
and time.
• solve 2D equations by finite-volume method – fast, efficient, can accommodate
arbitrarily thin films.
