Abstract:
This paper is organized as follows. In § 2, we present the DNS formulation. This formulation consists of a set of coupled conservation equations for the gas phase and the liquid phase (i.e. the drops). The coupling describing the interaction between the two phases is provided in the gas-phase conservation equations by source terms. In § 3, we analyse the DNS results; in particular, we evaluate the adopted form of the heat and mass fluxes. The gas-phase LES equations are developed in § 4 and assumptions that may simplify these equations are examined using the DNS database. Thereafter, the contribution of the source terms is examined by considering the budget of the LES equations. The final form of the LES equations are then presented, in which only the SGS fluxes and the FSTs need be modelled. A parallel perspective on the importance of the source terms is presented in § 5, wherein the irreversible entropy production (i.e. the dissipation) expression for two-phase flow with phase change is derived and evaluated for transitional DNS and the filtered flow fields. Models for the FSTs appearing in the LES equations are investigated in § 6, while several constantcoefficient SGS models are proposed and calibrated in § 7. The present study aims to create simple models so that the modelling approach can be validated by means of an SGS models are proposed and calibrated in § 7. The present study aims to create simple models so that the modelling approach can be validated by means of an a posteriori study.
