Simulation of Inviscid Compressible Multi-Phase Flow with Condensation

Abstract

Condensation of vapors in rapid expansions of compressible gases is investigated. In the case of high temperature gradients the condensation will start at conditions well away from thermodynamic equilibrium of the fluid. In those cases homogeneous condensation is dominant over heterogeneous condensation. The present work is concerned with development of a simulation tool for computation of high speed compressible flows with homogeneous condensation. The resulting flow solver should preferably be accurate and robust to be used for simulation of industrial flows in general geometries.
