Numerical simulation of liquified natural gas droplet breakup in gas phase flow

The deformation and breakup of a single liquified natural gas droplet is simulated in gas phase flow by using the volume of fluid method and k-εturbulence model.The influence of We on droplet morphology and breakup mode was investigated,and the change tendencies of velocity,acceleration and drag coefficient with time during the process of droplet morphology change were studied.In addition,the droplet deformation and breakup in different flow fields were compared.The results indicate that the droplet shows different breakup modes in different We.The critical We of shear breakup is about 80,and the critical breakup time of different droplet diameter is different under the same We.With the increase in We at relative gas-liquid velocity,the curve of dimensionless deformation time of droplet decreases firstly and then tends to be flat.In the process of droplet deformation and breakup,the velocity keeps increasing,while the acceleration and drag coefficient increase firstly and then decrease with the increase in time.Compared with the original flow field,the deformation and breaking time of droplets in the flow field with baffle plates are significantly reduced.
