BOUNDARY LAYER ANALYSIS OF TWO-PHASE (LIQUID-GAS) FLOW OVER A CIRCULAR CYLINDER AND OSCILLATING FLAT PLATE.
Abstract
Flow is assumed two dimensional, and gravity, vaporization of the liquid phase, and compressibility are ignored. The liquid is assumed to be in the form of small drops far upstream from the body. The liquid film which forms on the surface of the body due to drop impingement is analyzed extensively. In the case of the cylinder the analysis is started from the full incompressible Navier-Stokes and energy equations in the film which are simplified by using dimensional arguments. For the flat plate the boundary layer approximations are assumed to hold a priori in the film. Solutions to the governing equations and boundary conditions are carried out by a series expansion technique which results in a series of ordinary differential equations which have been solved numerically on a 7090 computer. The solutions are used to calculate velocity and temperature profiles in the film and also such physical quantities as local film thickness, local Nusselt Number, and local skin friction. The analysis shows that in general there is a significant increase in heat transfer as well as skin friction over what would be obtained from a single component gas flow. In the case of the flat plate only a very small permanent change in the heat transfer was found due to the oscillations. In the case of the cylinder a peaking in the heat transfer, film thickness and skin friction was found with respect to the parameter E squared (the product of the volume fraction of the liquid in the free stream, squared, and the diameter Reynolds number based on liquid properties).
