Numerical simulations are carried out for jet exit Reynolds number 23000 and Weber numbers in the range [102-107]. Due to the limitation of direct numerical simulation (DNS) to moderate Reynolds numbers, a stochastic 1D ansatz based on the one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model is used to simulate a planar liquid jet with a high lateral resolution. ODT permits an affordable high resolution of interface and single-phase property gradients which are key for understanding the local behavior. ODT is a stochastic model simulating turbulent flow evolution along a notional 1D line of sight by applying instantaneous maps to represent the effect of individual turbulent eddies on property profiles. The most relevant mechanisms that influence the primary breakup of liquid jets are found to be represented accurately based on comparisons to experiments and correlations reported in the literature. Building on this finding, future work will focus on the statistics of droplets generated by primary breakup, both to investigate their relationship to breakup mechanisms and to provide input to models of secondary breakup and subsequent spray evolution.}, language = {en} } @incollection{MovagharChiodiDesjardinsetal., author = {Movaghar, Amirreza and Chiodi, Robert and Desjardins, Olivier and Oevermann, Michael and Kerstein, Alan R.}, title = {A Subgrid-Scale Model for Large-Eddy Simulation of Liquid/Gas Interfaces Based on One-Dimensional Turbulence}, series = {Turbulent Cascades II}, booktitle = {Turbulent Cascades II}, publisher = {Springer Nature Switzerland AG}, address = {Schweiz}, isbn = {978-3-030-12547-9}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-12547-9_10}, pages = {83 -- 91}, abstract = {The interface/turbulence interaction between two fluids in a turbulent environment has an important role in many technical processes, e.g. primary liquid atomization in combustion devices. Primary atomization has a significant role in spray formation and its characteristics. The resulting dynamics typically span 4-6 orders of magnitude in length scales, making detailed numerical simulations exceedingly expensive. This motivates the need for modeling approaches based on spatial filtering such as large-eddy simulation (LES). In this paper, a new approach based on One-Dimensional turbulence (ODT) is presented to describe the subgrid interface dynamics. ODT is a stochastic model simulating turbulent flow evolution along a notional one-dimensional line of sight by applying instantaneous maps that represent the effects of individual turbulent eddies on property fields. It provides affordable high resolution of interface creation and property gradients within each phase, which are key for capturing the local behavior as well as overall trends. ODT has previously been shown to reproduce the main features of an experimentally determined regime diagram for primary jet breakup. Here a new approach called VODT is presented which produces a size-conditioned as well as a total time rate of generation of droplets for given flow conditions at an interface. At the LES level, the total droplet generation from VODT is interpreted as a rate of mass conversion of LES-resolved liquid into unresolved droplets. Preliminary results of applying VODT to a cell with a planar-shear-layer are discussed at the end of the paper.}, language = {en} } @misc{PuetzMovagharOevermann, author = {P{\"u}tz, Michele and Movaghar, Amirreza and Oevermann, Michael}, title = {Numerical simulation of a gasoline spray using one-dimensional turbulence for primary atomization}, series = {ICLASS 2018 - 14th International Conference on Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems}, journal = {ICLASS 2018 - 14th International Conference on Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems}, abstract = {Predictive and reliable simulations have the potential to constitute a valuable tool for the optimization of spray systems if accurate submodels are developed for the entire range of the governing processes. The primary breakup of the turbulent liquid jet is one the most important mechanisms in sprays, yet the least developed in terms of numerical modeling. The most accurate method to simulate primary breakup is the proper resolution of liquid-gas interfaces and turbulent flow structures. However, a wide range of relevant length and time scales implicate grid requirements that are often prohibitive for real engineering applications. The most widely used method in practice is still the representation of both the continuous liquid core and the dispersed phase by means of discrete Lagrangian particles evolving in and interacting with the Eulerian gas phase. The available models for primary breakup are mainly phenomenological and involve a number of empirical constants. The one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model is an alternative stochastic approach to model turbulence in flows with a dominant direction of property gradients. The stochastic representation of turbulent eddies on a one-dimensional domain enables high resolution at moderate computational costs. Applications of ODT to atomization revealed a great potential in recent studies. The objective of the present study is to combine ODT as a primary breakup model with a conventional Eulerian-Lagrangian method for the further spray evolution in order to asses ODT as a submodel in full spray models. Our numerical investigations were conducted on the ECN spray G, a gasoline-like, evaporating spray. The results in terms of spray penetration are encouraging, though the applicability of ODT to the transient injection phase and effects on additional spray characteristics require further investigation.}, language = {en} } @misc{MovagharLinneHerrmannetal., author = {Movaghar, Amirreza and Linne, Mark and Herrmann, Marcus A. and Kerstein, Alan R. and Oevermann, Michael}, title = {Modeling and numerical study of primary breakup under diesel conditions}, series = {International Journal of Multiphase Flow}, volume = {98}, journal = {International Journal of Multiphase Flow}, issn = {0301-9322}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2017.09.002}, pages = {110 -- 119}, abstract = {A recently introduced stochastic model for reduced numerical simulation of primary jet breakup is evaluated by comparing model predictions to DNS results for primary jet breakup under diesel conditions. The model uses one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) to simulate liquid and gas time advancement along a lateral line of sight. This one-dimensional domain is interpreted as a Lagrangian object that is advected downstream at the jet bulk velocity, thus producing a flow state expressed as a function of streamwise and lateral location. Multiple realizations are run to gather ensemble statistics that are compared to DNS results. The model incorporates several empirical extensions of the original ODT model that represent the phenomenology governing the Weber number dependence of global jet structure. The model as previously formulated, including the assigned values of tunable parameters, is used here without modification in order to test its capability to predict various statistics of droplets generated by primary breakup. This test is enabled by the availability of DNS results that are suitable for model validation. Properties that are examined are the rate of bulk liquid mass conversion into droplets, the droplet size distribution, and the dependence of droplet velocities on droplet diameter. Quantities of greatest importance for engine modeling are found to be predicted with useful accuracy, thereby demonstrating a more detailed predictive capability by a highly reduced numerical model of primary jet breakup than has previously been achieved.}, language = {en} } @misc{MovagharLinneOevermannetal., author = {Movaghar, Amirreza and Linne, Mark and Oevermann, Michael and Meiselbach, Falko T. and Schmidt, Heiko and Kerstein, Alan R.}, title = {Numerical investigation of turbulent-jet primary breakup using One-Dimensional Turbulence}, series = {International Journal of Multiphase Flow}, volume = {89}, journal = {International Journal of Multiphase Flow}, issn = {1879-3533}, pages = {241 -- 254}, abstract = {Primary breakup to form droplets at liquid surfaces is an important fundamental process to study as it determines the initial properties of the dispersed phase, which affect mixing rates, secondary breakup, droplet collisions, and flow separation within the dispersed flow region. Primary breakup can be regarded as one of the least developed model components for simulating and predicting liquid jet breakup. How- ever, it is of paramount importance in many technical applications, e.g. fuel injection in engines and spray painting. This paper presents a numerical investigation of primary breakup of a turbulent liquid jet in still air at standard conditions using the one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) modeling framework. ODT is a stochastic model that simulates turbulent flow evolution along a notional 1D line of sight by applying instantaneous maps to represent the effect of individual turbulent eddies on property profiles. An important feature of ODT is the resolution of all relevant scales, both temporal and spatial. The restriction to one spatial dimension in ODT permits affordable high resolution of interfacial and single-phase property gradients, which is key to capturing the local behavior of the breakup process and allows simulations at high Reynolds and Weber numbers that are currently not accessible to direct numerical simulations (DNS). This paper summarizes our extensions of the ODT model to simulate geometrically simple jet breakup problems, including representations of Rayleigh wave breakup, turbulent breakup, and shear-driven breakup. Each jet breakup simulation consists of a short temporal channel section to initialize a turbulent velocity profile at the nozzle exit followed by an adjacent jet section. The simulations are carried out for jet exit Reynolds number of 11,500, 23,000, 46,000 and 92,000 while the Weber number is varied within the range 102-107. We present results on breakup statistics including spatial locations of droplet release, droplet sizes and liquid core length. The results on primary breakup are compared to experimental results and models.}, language = {en} }
