A coupled Euler-Lagrange CFD modelling of droplets-to-filmTools Adeniyi, Akinola A., Morvan, Hervé P. and Simmons, Kathy A. (2017) A coupled Euler-Lagrange CFD modelling of droplets-to-film. Aeronautical Journal, 121 (1246). pp. 1897-1918. ISSN 2059-6464 Full text not available from this repository.AbstractIn this paper, a droplet to film interaction model technique is presented. In the proposed approach, the liquid and gas continua are modelled using an enhanced Volume of Fluid (VoF) technique while the droplets are tracked using a Lagrangian framework and are coupled to the Eulerian phases using source terms. The eventual target application is an aeroengine bearing chamber in which oil is found as droplets, shed from the bearings, splashing on impact, separated from wall surfaces at obstacles or simply re-entrained, and as a continuum oil film coating the bearing chamber outer walls which it also cools. In finite volume CFD techniques, a prohibitively large number of cells would be required to describe the details of the droplet impact phenomenon. Based on published correlations, the splashing droplets are created and tracked as Lagrangian particles. The flowing film and the gas continua are handled with an enhanced Volume of Fluid technique.
