Bai-ONERA Wall Impingement Model Reference

The Bai-ONERA Wall Impingement model is a further development of the Bai-Gosman model, adding smoother transitions between impingement outcomes across transition temperatures.

The original ONERA model, described in [693], was developed for a smooth and dry wall. Modifications made to it in the Bai-ONERA model are designed to:

  • Allow for the effect of a rough or wet wall.
  • Achieve a smooth transition to recover the Bai-Gosman model for situations where the wall temperature is lower than the droplet saturation temperature.

When the Bai-ONERA wall impingement model is used in a VOF region, it is possible that the droplet impingement occurs where the droplet is passing through a liquid. As the Bai-ONERA wall impingement model is strictly valid only for droplets in a gas, the impingement is treated as follows:

  • When impingement in a liquid occurs, the assumed behavior is for the droplet to rebound (using the standard Bai rebound mode).
  • When impingement in a gas occurs, the droplet behavior is identical to the single-phase gas case.

To determine whether the droplet is in a gas or liquid, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ evaluates the total volume fraction of all of the gas phases in the local cell. When this value is above 0.5, the droplet is determined to be in a gas.

Bai-ONERA Wall Impingement Properties

The Rosin-Rammler exponent q, the wall friction coefficient cf, the onset coefficient Aw, and the splash number coefficient a0 are used just as they are in the Bai-Gosman treatment.

Child Parcels
Number of child parcels to create during a splash/breakup event.
Wall State
This property defines whether an impermeable boundary (other than a Fluid Film boundary) is treated as wet or dry. For a Fluid Film boundary, the wall is treated as wet when the film thickness is larger than zero.
  • At low K numbers, droplets spread or rebound.
  • At high K numbers, droplets splash, spread, or rebound.
Leidenfrost effect occurs when the temperature is high enough. See Bai-ONERA Wall Impingement.
Wet
Specifies that the wall is wet; droplet impingement produces different outcomes, depending on K number (see Eqn. (3201)) and wall temperature. The transition point between rebound and spreading depends on the Laplace number of the droplet. See Wet Wall in Bai-ONERA Wall Impingement.
Dry
Specifies that the wall is dry; droplet impingement produces different outcomes, depending on K number (see Eqn. (3201)) and wall temperature. The transition point between splashing and spreading depends on wall roughness. See Dry Wall in Bai-ONERA Wall Impingement.

Lower and Upper Transition Temperature Properties

The Lower and Upper Transition Temperature nodes are subnodes of the Bai-ONERA Wall Impingement node.

Lower Transition Temperature

Upper Transition Temperature
Temperature for transition between ranges 2 and 3 (T23 in Bai-ONERA Wall Impingement). This value is expected to be approximately the Leidenfrost temperature of the droplet.

Iterative

This method uses a combination of bisection and a damped Newton's method to extract a saturation temperature corresponding to a given cell pressure from a saturation pressure curve. The iterative method first uses bisection to obtain a good initial guess, iterates a number of times less than or equal to Max Bisection Iterations, then iterates using Newton's method a number of times less than or equal to Max Newton Iterations.

Iterative
This node has the following properties:
Alpha
A damping factor used if Newton's method goes outside the temperature range used in bisection. The default 1.
Delta Max
The maximum allowed temperature change over an iteration, given as a percentage of the temperature range. The default is 0.3.
Convergence Tolerance
If successive updates change less than this value, the solution has converged. The default 0.01.
Max Newton Iterations
The maximum number of iterations of Newton's method. The default is 20.
Max Bisection Iterations
The maximum number of iterations of bisection. The default is 5.
Minimum Temperature
The bottom of the temperature range for the bisection method. The default is 273.15 K.
