Validation and Uncertainty Quantification for Wall Boiling Closure Relations in Multiphase-CFD Solver

By: Y. Liu n & N. Dinh n

Contributors: Y. Liu n & N. Dinh n

author keywords: Multiphase-CFD; Bayesian inference; uncertainty quantification; global sensitivity analysis; validation metric
TL;DR: The VUQ results indicate that the current empirical correlations-based wall boiling closure relations achieved satisfactory agreement on wall superheat predictions, however, the closure relations also demonstrate intrinsic inconsistency and fail to give consistently accurate predictions for all QoIs over the well-developed nucleate boiling regime.

TL;DR: The numerical results indicate that this reconstruction-based discontinuous Galerkin (RDG) method is able to deliver the same accuracy as the well-known Bassi-Rebay II scheme, at a half of its computing costs for the discretization of the viscous fluxes in the Navier-Stokes equations, clearly demonstrating its superior performance over the existing DG methods.

TL;DR: This study shows that the LS method was shown to lead to loss (or gain) of mass when fluid filaments become comparable to grid size, while the VT methods were found prone to producing ‘‘blobby’’ structures, while particle-based, front-tracking methods were shown to perform better in conserving filamentary structures.
