Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
In many technical and industrial applications, the wetting of surfaces by various fluids plays a decisive role. The interplay of wetting and evaporation processes, for example in drying processes, is also of particular importance. A good understanding of the underlying physical principles is therefore crucial in order to precisely control these processes.
In this work, a numerical solver based on the extended discontinuous Galerkin (XDG) method is developed for the calculation of multiphase flows with evaporation and contact lines. The basis functions used, which are adapted to the phase boundaries, allow the highly accurate representation of the solution fields for pressure, velocity and temperature. By using a sharp interface model and corresponding jump conditions, discontinuities in the solution fields can be represented directly at the interfaces. The interfaces themselves are represented in the solver by the level set method. The movement of the contact line is enabled and modeled by using the generalized Navier boundary condition (GNBC).
The developed solver is then used to simulate various multiphase problems. When investigating the flow through the nip between two printing cylinders, the behavior of the solution fields with vanishing nip width and the occurrence of viscous vortices in the nip can be mapped. The implementation of the coupled momentum and energy balance, including evaporation at the phase boundary, is then verified with established test cases. In investigations of the moving contact line, the behavior of the contact line in the implementation can then be confirmed according to the boundary conditions used. In particular, singular behavior can be observed in the solution fields when unsuitable boundary conditions are employed. This is of particular importance when considering contact lines and evaporation at the same time, where a contradiction can be identified in the model used. This inconsistency leads to a drastic reduction in the convergence order of the method. By using slip on the phase boundary, a possible resolution of the contradiction is then tested, and the convergence order is partially restored. Finally, a real experiment is considered in a highly simplified form. During the dewetting of a heated wall pulled out of a liquid bath, a reduction of the liquid film on the wall can be observed with increasing evaporation.
The XDG method extended in this work for evaporation and contact line problems allows a highly accurate simulation of the pressure, velocity and temperature fields, especially in the vicinity of interfaces and contact lines. However, this higher order method is very sensitive to contradictory boundary conditions or irregular solutions. Nevertheless, this sensitivity allows the method to be used to develop and test novel models, especially for modeling contact line motion.
