Popis: In continuous galvanizing line operations, the thickness and the uniformity of the zinc coating are governed by the gas jet wiping process; a complex multi-phase, multi-scale phenomenon. To advance the fundamental understanding of such intricate process, an efficient and accurate numerical model would be highly valuable. This work is a sequel on the development of a three-dimensional numerical model, aiming to consider the moving strip, the unsteady turbulent jet, and their mutual interactions with the falling excess liquid zinc. The present work examines the challenging coupling between the unsteady compressible gas dynamics and the liquid zinc free surface flow.
