Resumo

We present the results of a three-dimensional numerical simulation of the dynamics of a falling film of a mixture of refrigerants, 0.9 mol fraction R21 + R114, considering the liquid flow along the outer lateral surface of a round vertical cylinder for a Reynolds number of 104 and contact angles of 10°, 30°, 50°, 70°, and 90°. The simulation was carried out using the volume of fluid (VOF) method in the OpenFOAM software. The contact angle has a significant effect on the area of the wetted surface due to a change in the modes of liquid falling down the cylinder. The following flow modes are identified: continuous film, stable jet mode, cascade jet mode, and massive jet mode. These modes are similar to the modes of fluid flow on horizontal tubes.
