finiteArea: new models and solvers for films
- Adding
kinematicParcelFoam
solver:- The original
thermoSurfaceFilm
sub-models were divided betweenkinematicSurfaceFilm
andthermoSurfaceFilm
in order to use thesurfaceFilm
model in akinematicCloud
. - The film interaction models are now in a
kinematicSurface
class which can be used in a kinematic cloud adding constant thermal properties (p
andT
) for some sub-models, e.g.drySplashInteraction
,wetSplashInteraction
etc. -
pRef
andTref
were added to thekinematicSurfaceFilm
as entry to theregionFilm
when used with a kinematic cloud. - In the finite area surface film model
Tref
,pRef
are 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. -
curvatureSepration
injection 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:
