| Popis: | A coupled compressive interface capturing scheme and dual-time preconditioned approach was developed for the two-dimensional axisymmetric computation of compressible interface flows with mass transfers. The fully-compressible three-phase homogeneous mixture flow model was implicitly solved using the dual-time preconditioned technique on generalized curvilinear grids. The interfaces between the three phases were captured by the solution of two interface advection equations using a compressive high resolution interface capturing method. The predictive capabilities of the numerical scheme were examined for a series of bubble condensations of pure steam and steam–air mixtures in different thermal and hydrodynamic subcooled boiling flows. Reasonably good agreement with the experimental data was obtained. Subsequently, several test cases on the condensation of single steam–air mixture bubbles were performed to investigate the effects of non-condensable gases on the characteristics of a condensing bubble. The numerical results revealed a nearly linear decrease of the condensation rate with an increase of the non-condensable gas void fraction in the mixture bubble. |
