Subcooled boiling flow was simulated by combining the two-fluid model of the CFX-4.4 code and a Lagrangian bubble-tracking model. At present, both models are coupled “off-line” via the local bubble Sauter diameter. The two-fluid model simulation with the CFX-4.4 code provides local values of turbulent kinetic energy field of the liquid phase, which is used as an input for the bubble-tracking model. In the bubble-tracking model, vapour is distributed in the liquid in the form of individually tracked bubbles. The result of the Lagrangian simulation is a non-homogeneous distribution of local Sauter diameter, which is used in the two-fluid model to predict the interfacial forces and interfacial transfer rates of mass and heat transfer. The coupled approach requires a few iterations to obtain a converged solution. The results of the proposed approach were validated against boiling flow experiments from the literature. A good agreement between measured and calculated radial profiles of void fraction and bubble diameter was obtained.

In this present paper, thermophoretic depositions of fine particles are used in a heated turbulent boundary layer over very small plate via two-fluid model, or Eulerian-Eulerian approach. The Prandtl’s mixing length model of turbulence is used for the closure problem. The governing equations of gas phase are coupled with the governing equations of particle phase in two-way model, while uses the particle diffusion term as another coupling term. The equations are solved numerically by using finite difference method. One can obtain the convergence by numerical calculations much easier than with no diffusion term. A vast amount of information can be extracted for this kind of modeling. The effect of important parameters such as diffusion factor, gravity and thermophoretic force are considered. The cooler temperature of plate results higher particles deposition or concentration on the flat plate. Also, the larger particle size diameters delay the maximum particles deposition further distance away from the plate front edge. The results give the correct physical prediction overall.
