Hi All,
I am doing a project on Functionally Graded Materials (FGM). I use a solidification process to generate FGM and find that there is intermetallic compounds in the products. So I think this process involves liquid reactive flow. Now I need to simulate the solidification process with reactive flow.But I found out that almost all of the books and literature deal with gas reactive flow (mostly on combustion). Does anyone know what the difference is between liquid reactive flow and gas reactive flow? How can I transfrom those governing equations for gas reactive flow for use in liquid reactive flow? Does anyone know any books or literature handling liquid reactive flow? Thanks! James |

Reactive flow in liquids usually involves new phase-formation, whereas gas-reactive flow usually only involves formation of new species in the gas mixture. So assuming that you get some new phase-formation, then the physical data for interfacial properties are usually unknown and there are few (if any) good multiphase methods to deal with reacting flow. If you add solidification to this you have an extremely complex problem.
Fun problem though, so good luck! |

Hi, Ford:
Thank you for your reply! What do you mean by new phase? Suppose we have liquid Ni and Al, if they react to form NiAl, is NiAl the new phase you mentioned? What is the difference between "new phase" and "new species"? Thank you again! James |

Species are part of a mixture, connected to a specific phase. For instance, if you model air you will have two major species, O2 and N2 along with a number of smaller ones. The temperature, pressure and partial pressures of each species will give you the properties of the air phase.
