Flow Past A Sphere

The steady viscous flow past a sphere coated with a thin liquid film at low and intermediate Reynolds numbers (Re ≤ 200) was investigated numerically. The influences of fluid physical properties, film thickness, and Reynolds number on the flow pattern were clarified. Temperature field around the compound drop was also analyzed. The strong dependence of flow pattern on the characteristics of heat transfer was recognized. The empirical equation of the drag coefficient for the compound drop was proposed. Furthermore, the explicit adaptability of the drag coefficient equation for a gas bubble, a liquid drop, and a rigid, sphere in the range of Reynolds number Re ≤ 1000 was confirmed.

Limiting Case

The boundary-value problem associated with the evaporation of a thin liquid film from a thick surface is presented in terms of several dimensionless parameters. A numerical solution is presented for a particular limiting case and the result is used to suggest criteria for determining the significance of thin-film evaporation in saturated pool boiling.
