Two and Three Dimensional Models of a Gas-Stirred Bath of Molten Pig Iron

M.P. Schwarz,
PHOENICS Journal of CFD & its applications, volume 1, No3, pp 282-310

A two-phase fluid dynamical model of a molten iron bath into which nitrogen is bottom-injected generates results which are compared with measurements of gas velocity and void fraction reported in the literature. Two-dimensional models showed the correct qualitative behaviour, but the velocity and gas fraction along the central axis of the vessel were overestimated. Three dimensional models predicted values more in accord with the experimental data. It is suggested that the 2-D models are inadequate because of the incorrect assumption of axisymmetry.

Employing SATELLITE and PHOTON as Input and Output Devices for a non-PHOENICS Code

M.A. Serag-Eldin,
PHOENICS Journal of CFD & its applications, volume 1, No3, pp 311-323

An experiment is described in which the PHOENICS code front end SATELLITE is employed to drive a non-PHOENICS code, and the computed results are displayed by means of the PHOENICS graphics file PHOTON. The procedure employed for linking the codes is presented, the amount of work required is assesed, and some typical results of computations are displayed. Evaluation of the experiment, indicates that it is a feasible and attractive proposition for many non-PHOENICS codes.

The Lagrangian Hydrodynamical Calculations in PHOENICS code

H.Q. Qin and D.B. Spalding,
PHOENICS Journal of CFD & its applications, volume 1, No3, pp 324-370

A Lagrangian hydrodynamic system for time-dependent, compressible, multi-material problems in two-dimensional calculations is presented in the PHOENICS code. A semi-Lagrangian system formulation is used for small distortion; but, moving body-fitted coordinates are employed for fully-Lagrangian system to simulate large distortion of the material. The two formulations are here employed for studying detonation phenomena.

Simulation of Supersonic Flow Past a Double-Wedge Profile

A. Palacio and M.R. Malin,
PHOENICS Journal of CFD & its applications, volume 1, No3, pp 371-408

Solutions of the steady-state Euler equations are obtained for the prediction of shock waves occuring in a two-dimensional supersonic flow past a double-wedge profile. Comparisons with available analytical and experimental results are made using two different adiabatic models and an isentropic model.
