Droplet solidification or icing: appropriate solver

bigfeather · March 16, 2018, 23:31

Hi folks,
I am wondering whether there is existing slover which can handle droplet solidification or icing problem？

Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

best,
Justin

Hi Bigfeather,

I'm looking for something similar. did you find any solver for it?

Regards.

Hi
Have you found any codes?

Kind regards

Hi
what is the appropriate solver for simulating the solidification of droplets?

In short, there is no OpenFoam solvers that can directly simulate icing problems. You will have to build it by yourself, and probably customize it for your specific conditions. The main issue will probably be mesh morphing.

A couple of years back, during my master, I wrote an OpenFoam solver to simulate in-flight rime ice accretion. I had to code everything from droplet trajectories, droplet collection, thermodynamic of the boundary, mesh morphing, ...

Sibo Li also did pretty much the same recently.

Good luck to you

Hi，
I am doing some work on droplet solidification. Now i am trying to add TEqn into interFoam and the solver can be compiled, but temperature is very strange in the result of my test case.
Has someone find or build an appropriate solver?
