Good Day everybody,
At the moment I am supposed to run a simulation that is the same as the one in the video below. Water droplets impact a wall. Some of them will flow out through an opening at the lower part of the wall, others will be dragged by the gas to another exit. Basically what I want to simulate is the same that can be seen in the video, but adding a small slith next to the corner. I am having trouble setting this up, havenīt been able to chose the right physics. Neither have I been capable to figure out how the simulation is introducing the droplets in the volume (as a Lagrangian injector?). Do you have experience with something similar? Do you know what physics are used in the video? Then just let me know, it would be incredibly helpful. Thank you!! VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvqL5v0KhUQ |

Yes!! You have to do a Lagrangian injector. Read the article from Star CCM user guide "VOF-Lagrangian Impingement and Stripping". You may need to do "Two way coupling" More details about the problem is required for further comments.

Yet, in our case, the droplets will hit a wall (dry at first), build a fluid film that with time would become a decent amount of water (VOF). Please note that that water (VOF) is not present at the beginning and all tutorials I have been able to find, always have the water inside the space before the start of the simulation. Just curious if what I am aiming for can be handled by Star CCM+, computation times donīt matter. |

You will have to add VOF-wall film interaction, Lagrangian-VOF interaction and VOF-wall film too. But search for compatibility of VOF with other models. Otherwise go with other Eulerian Multi-phase. Quote:

VOF is used because of lesser computational time that other Eulerian multi-phase models. So if VOF is giving any compatibility issues then you can always shift. |
