Abstract:In this article, numerical investigation of liquid film falling over three horizontal plain cylinders is presented. The flow Reynolds number of 50 to 3000 and cylinder diameters of 0.022 m, 0.123 m, and 0.1 m are employed. Numerical predictions are obtained using FLUENT, a proprietary computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code for 2D configurations of the three cylinders. The mathematical approach is based on the volume of fluid (VOF) method to account for two fluid phases, namely air and water. The research repo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
