finiteArea: new models and solvers for films
- Adding
kinematicParcelFoamsolver:- The original
thermoSurfaceFilmsub-models were divided betweenkinematicSurfaceFilmandthermoSurfaceFilmin order to use thesurfaceFilmmodel in akinematicCloud. - The film interaction models are now in a
kinematicSurfaceclass which can be used in a kinematic cloud adding constant thermal properties (pandT) for some sub-models, e.g.drySplashInteraction,wetSplashInteractionetc. -
pRefandTrefwere added to thekinematicSurfaceFilmas entry to theregionFilmwhen used with a kinematic cloud. - In the finite area surface film model
Tref,pRefare stored infilmSubModel.
- The original
- Film models:
- Only laminar turbulence is available for wall friction and gas shear stress. Wall friction models:
- quadraticProfile,
- linearProfile,
- DarcyWeisbach,
- ManningStrickle
- gas friction models:
Cf *(Ufilm - Ufluid). This would need to be improved using turbulent shear stress from the flow. -
curvatureSeprationinjection model from the film to Lagrangian particles - minimum (
fThreshold) force and minimum curvature (minInvR1) for separation were added to have more control on determining the points of film separation. - To force wall-like BC from the fluid side the option
zeroWallVelocity true;. Allows the film to be seen as zero U BC by the flow. - forces: The only available extra forces (apart from gravity) is contact angle force:
perturbedTemperatureDependentContactAngle
- Only laminar turbulence is available for wall friction and gas shear stress. Wall friction models:
