A simulation model for the direct contact condensation of steam in subcooled water is presented that allows determination of major parameters of the process, such as the jet penetration length. Entrainment of water by the steam jet is modeled based on the Kelvin–Helmholtz and Rayleigh–Taylor instability theories. Primary atomization due to acceleration of interfacial waves and secondary atomization due to aerodynamic forces account for the initial size of entrained droplets. The resulting steam-water two-phase flow is simulated based on a one-dimensional two-fluid model. An interfacial area transport equation is used to track changes of the interfacial area density due to droplet entrainment and steam condensation. Interfacial heat and mass transfer rates during condensation are calculated using the two-resistance model. The resulting two-phase flow equations constitute a system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved by means of the explicit Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg algorithm. The simulation results are in good qualitative agreement with published experimental data over a wide range of pool temperatures and mass flow rates.

This paper describes in detail the assessment of the CFD code CFX to predict adiabatic liquid-gas two-phase bubbly flow. This study has been divided into two parts. In the first exercise, the effect of Lift Force, Wall Force and the Turbulent Diffusion Force have been assessed using experimental data from the literature for air-water upward bubbly flows through a pipe. The data used here had a characteristic near wall void peaking which was largely influenced by the joint action of the three forces mentioned above. The simulations were performed with constant bubble diameter assuming no bubble interactions. This exercise resulted in selection of the most appropriate closure form and closure coefficients for the above mentioned forces for the range of flow conditions chosen. In the second exercise, the One-Group Interfacial Area Transport equation was introduced in the two-fluid model of CFX. The interfacial area density plays important role in the correct prediction of interfacial mass, momentum and energy transfer and is affected by bubble breakup and coalescence processes in adiabatic flows. The One-Group Interfacial Area Transport Equation (IATE) has been developed and implemented for one-dimensional models and validated using cross-sectional area averaged experimental data over the last decade by various researchers. The original one-dimensional model has been extended to multidimensional flow predictions in this study and the results are presented in this paper. The paper also discusses constraints posed by the commercial CFD code CFX and the solutions worked out to obtain the most accurate implementation of the model.

AbstractWe characterise steady, one-dimensional fast and slow magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shocks using a two-fluid model. Fast MHD shocks are magnetically driven, forcing ions to stream through the neutral gas ahead of the shock front. This magnetic precursor heats the gas sufficiently to create a large, warm transition zone where all fluid variables only weakly change in the shock front. In contrast, slow MHD shocks are driven by gas pressure where neutral species collide with ion species in a thin hot slab that closely resembles an ordinary gas dynamic shock.We computed observational diagnostics for fast and slow shocks at velocities vs=2–4 km/s and preshock Hydrogen nuclei densities nH = 102-4 cm−3. We followed the abundances of molecules relevant for a simple oxygen chemistry and include cooling by CO, H2 and H2O. Estimates of intensities of 12CO rotational lines show that high-J lines, above J = 6 → 5, are more strongly excited in slow MHD shocks.
