Multiphase Modeling: Challenge Of Timescales
Small Time Scales:
turbulent flow field
droplet dynamics
species (ammonia) transport
Steady-State Calculation (PISO)
fluid flow field
temperature field
no spray injection (liquid phase)
Large Time Scales:
liquid film formation and -dynamics
ammonia formation from film
wall cooling (CHT)
Transient Calculation (Simple)
thermodynamics (enthalpy)
droplets and liquid film
species (ammonia, water vap.)
time steps: 0.1 ms (droplets present)
1 ms (otherwise)
Solution Strategy:
Restart with
flow field
solvers
switched off
simulated interval of several minutes incl. spray dynamics and species transport

Conclusion
validated Star-CD-Model of the urea-water-solution preparation process:
simulation of several injection events and long time liquid film behaviour
via separated (steady) flow field and liquid-phase/thermodynamic calc.
two step ammonia preparation process modeled properly with Raoults` law
predictive impingement model for whole temperature range missing
→ massive film formation (OP1) currently forced by spread-model
→ break-up model in v4.10 (for high temp. impingement) not stable
liquid film dynamics well represented in simulation
implementation of Conjugate Heat Transfer for a correct prediction of liquid
film formation and preparation timescales (validated by IR-themography)
promising liquid film boiling model improvements from v4.06 to v4.10

Outlook
check and adaption of improved Star-CDs` physical models (4.10/4.12)
NIST approach (internal calculation) for multicomp. thermodynamics properties
fix of Break-Up regime numerical instabilities of extended Bai-model (v4.10)
(currently NOTHBREAK in *.prob and Switch 30 → support)
underestimation of liquid film at low temperatures (OP1): tuning of critical
Regime Weber-Numbers to realize „one-fits-all“ Bai-impingement-model
adaption of liquid film boiling model (Nukiyama-curve) for urea-water solution
(currently standard Star-CD parameter set for pure water)
(thermography data available)
evaluation of post impingement droplet properties (e.g. size distribution)
laser-diffraction data available
towards a fully predictive SCR-process Star-CD-model
