Detailed Description

A thermal wall function for simulation of boiling wall.

This alpha wall function can handle the following regimes: single phase subcooled nucleate wall boiling transitional boiling film boiling.

The wall function uses a partition method to transfer heat either to the liquid or vapor phase. At the moment, this function works in a wall temperature fixed mode. i.e, there is no consideration for the sudden change of heat transfer coefficient (htc) after reaching TDBN (deviation from nucleate boiling temperature).

For the single phase non-boiling regime the standard JayatillekeWallFunction is used.

For the sub-cool nucleate boiling regime the following runtime selectable submodels are used:

  • nucleation site density
  • bubble departure frequency
  • bubble departure diameter

Implements a version of the well-known RPI wall boiling model (Kurul & Podowski, 1991). The model implementation is similar to the model described by Peltola & Pättikangas (2012) but has been extended with the wall heat flux partitioning models.

The transition boiling regime flux (TBF) is modelled following a temperature based linear interpolation between the critical heat flux (CHF) and the minimum heat flux (MHF) in such a way that when the wall temperature is between the range of TDBN and the Leidenfrost temperature (TLeiden) a linear interpolation is used between CHF and MHF.

Thus, the following models are required: LeidenfrostModel CHFModel CHFSubCoolModel MHFModel TDNBModel filmBoilingModel

The linear interpolation is as follows:

TBF = CHF*phi + (1 - phi)*MHF

where phi:

phi = wp*(Tw - TDNB)/(TLeiden - TDNB),

where: wp model constant Tw wall temperature

The film boiling regime is applied when Tw is larger than TLeiden. In this regime the corrlation from the filmBoilingModel is used for calculating the cht from the wall.

The filmBoilingModel is needed in the vapor field in order to calculate the heat transfer to the vapor phase in film boiling regime.
