Detailed Description

Computes film-separation properties from round edges for full separation (Owen & Ryley, 1983). The model assesses the film curvature based on the mesh geometry and flow field, and then calculates a force balance of the following form:

$\‍[ F_{net} = F_{inertial} + F_{body} + F_{surface} \‍]$

with:

$\‍[ F_{inertial} = -\frac{4}{3} \frac{h \, \rho \, |\mathbf{u}|^2}{R_1} \‍]$

$\‍[ F_{body} = -\frac{\rho |\mathbf{g}| (R_1^2 - R_2^2) cos(\theta)}{2 \, R_1} \‍]$

$\‍[ F_{surface} = \frac{\sigma}{R_2} \‍]$

where:

$F_{net}$	=	Magnitude of net force on the film
$F_{inertial}$	=	Magnitude of inertial forces on the film
$F_{body}$	=	Magnitude of body forces on the film
$F_{surface}$	=	Magnitude of surface forces on the film
	=	Film thickness
$\rho$	=	Film density
$\sigma$	=	Film surface tension
$\mathbf{u}$	=	Film velocity
$\mathbf{g}$	=	Gravitational accelaration
$\theta$	=	Approximate angle between gravity vector and outflow direction
	=	Radius of curvature
	=	Sum of the radius of curvature and film thickness

The film is considered separated when $F_{net}<0$ ; otherwise, it remains attached.

Usage

Minimal example in boundary-condition files:

filmSeparationCoeffs
{
    // Mandatory entries
    model              OwenRyley;

    // Optional entries
    fThreshold         <scalar>;
    definedPatchRadii  <scalar>;
    deltaByR1Min       <scalar>;
    minInvR1           <scalar>;
}

where the entries mean:

Property	Description	Type	Reqd	Deflt
`model`	Model name: OwenRyley	word	yes	-
`fThreshold`	Threshold force for separation	scalar	no	1e-8
`definedPatchRadii`	Patch radius	scalar	no	0
`deltaByR1Min`	Minimum gravity driven film thickness	scalar	no	0
`minInvR1`	Minimum inv R1 for separation	scalar	no	5

Note

The assumptions underlying the derivation of the model indicate that the model is better suited for round corners than for sharp corners.
