• CFD simulation of the droplet size distribution of liquid‐liquid emulsions in stirred tank reactors 

      Farzad, Reza; Schneiderbauer, Simon (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Predicting the drop size distribution (DSD) is essential in particulate flows such as emulsions as it affects mass transfer and heat transfer. In the current work we developed a novel numerical method to account for droplet ...
    • Controlled coalescence with local front reconstruction method 

      Rajkotwala, A.H.; Mirsandi, H.; Peters, E.A.J.F.; Baltussen, M.W.; Van Der Geld, C.W.M.; Kuerten, J.G.M.; Kuipers, J.A.M. (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The physics of droplet collisions involves a wide range of length scales. This poses a difficulty to accurately simulate such flows with traditional fixed grid methods due to their inability to resolve all scales with ...
    • Improved collision modelling for liquid metal droplets in a copper slag cleaning process 

      Yang, H.; Wolters, J.; Pischke, P.; Soltner, H..; Eckert, S.; Fröhlich, J. (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Collision and coalescence among liquid metal droplets in a slag cleaning process enhanced by electromagnetic stirring were numerically studied. A hybrid collision algorithm was implemented to calculate the collision ...
    • Towards a CFD model for boiling flows: validation of QMOM predictions with TOPFLOW experiments 

      Buffo, Antonio; Vanni, Marco; Marchisio, Daniele L.; Montoya, Gustavo; Baglietto, Emilio (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Boiling flows are very complex systems, usually confined in vertical pipes, where the liquid water moving upwards and the steam gas bubbles generated at the walls. The fluid dynamics of such systems is determined by the ...
