題目：Applied research in an Industrial Aerodynamics laboratory and recent CFD work on droplet dynamics

日時：2009年2月 23日(月）1４:00 ~ 15:00

場所：東京大学工学部2号館211号室

概要： The lecture will be made up from two parts.

In the first part the activities of the lecturer’s industrial aerodynamics laboratory will be presented; these are aimed at solving engineering problems of immediate relevance to industry, as air pollution problems, designing of lignite boilers, optimizing electrostatic filters, designing and constructing wind generators and fouling of heat exchangers. For tackling such problems both experimental and CFD standard tools are used.

In the second part of the lecture the work of the lecturer’s group on droplet dynamics is presented; the VOF methodology within a finite volume methodology is used. For tracking accurately the liquid gas interface a dynamically adaptive local grid refinement technique is employed. Various cases will be examined as droplet impinging on liquid film or collision of two equal or unequal size droplets. The effects of Weber and Ohnesorge numbers on the dynamics of the droplet collision process are quantified.
