A three-field model of transient 3D multiphase, three-component flow for the computer code IV A3. Pt. 2. Models for the interfacial transport phenomena. Code validation

Abstract

The second part of the IVA3 code description contains the constitutive models used for the interfacial transport phenomena and the code validation results. First 20 flow patterns are defined and the transition criteria are discussed. The dynamic fragmentation and coalescence models used in IVA3 are documented. After the description of the models for predicting the flow patterns and flow structure sizes the models for the interfacial mechanical interaction are described. Finally the models for interfacial heat and mass transfer are given with emphasis on the time averaging of the heat and mass source terms. The code validation passes several stages from simple tests on well known benchmarks trough simulation of one-, two-, and three-phase flows in simple and complicated geometries. The gradually increase of the complexity and the successful comparison of the predictions with experimental data is the main characteristic of the verification procedure. It is demonstrated by several examples that IVA3 is a powerful tool for three-fluid modelling of complicated three-phase flows in complex geometry with strong thermal and mechanical interaction between the velocity fields.

(orig.). [Deutsch] Der zweite Teil der Beschreibung des IVA3 Computerprogramms beinhaltet die verwendeten Modelle fuer Transport von Masse, Impuls und Energie an den Phasentrennflaechen und die Codevalidierung. Zunaechst werden 20 komplexe Stroemungsmuster definiert und die dazugehoerigen Identifikationskriterien diskutiert. Die Modelle fuer dynamische Fragmentation und Koaleszenz, die in IVA3 verwendet sind, werden detailliert dokumentiert. Nach der Darstellung der Methoden fuer Identifikation der Stroemungsmuster und fuer die Berechnung der Partikelgroesse werden die Modelle fuer die Berechnung der Kraefte an den Phasentrennflaechen beschrieben. Abschliessend wurden die Modelle fuer zeitlich gemittelten Massen- und Energietransport an den Phasentrennflaechen beschrieben. Die Funktionsueberpruefung des IVA3-Algorithmus sowie die Ueberpruefung der physikalischen Modelle und deren Wechselwirkung geht von einfachen Tests mit bekannten Benchmarks, bis hin zur Simulation von Ein-, Zwei- und Dreiphasenstroemungen in einfachen und komplexen Geometrien. Die allmaehliche Steigerung der Komplexitaet der modellierten Stroemungen und der erfolgreiche Vergleich von Simulationsergebnissen mit Experimenten sind die wichtigsten Charakteristiken der Verifikationsprozedur. Es wird an mehreren Beispielen demonstriert, dass IVA3 eine leistungsfaehige Rahmenstruktur fuer Modellierung von Dreiphasenstroemungen in komplexer Geometrie mit schwachen bis sehr heftigen thermischen und mechanischen Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Geschwindigkeitsfeldern darstellt.
