Introduction

Set up the bubbly flow case in OpenFOAM.

Implementing “myInterFoamDiabatic” based on “interFoam” which using VOF method for simulation of two phase isothermal flow by adding energy equation as well as implementing an heat flux boundary condition.

To study the flow pattern and temperature of elongated bubble flow in micro-channels(with diameter 1.7mm).

Future plan:adding source terms to the U,T equations.

Background

• MEMS(micro electronic and mechanic systems)• fuel cells• cooling of micro-electronic chips• compact heat exchangers

• Macro scale

• Flow boiling in a uniformly heated circular tube

( Collier & Thome, 1994, p.170)

• Transition

• skewed flow• liquid ring flow

• frothy annular flow• Transition

•

• rivulet flow

Bubbly flow

slug flow(elongated bubble)
