Abstract

Liquid jet impingement on a moving plate, which is applicable to cooling of hot plates in a steel-making process, is investigated numerically by solving the conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy in the liquid and gas phases. The free-surface or liquid-gas interface is tracked by an improved level-set method incorporating a sharp-interface technique for accurate imposition of stress and heat flux conditions on the liquid-gas interface. The level-set approach is combined with a non-equilibrium k-ε turbulence model. The computations are made for multiple jets as well as a single jet to investigate their flow and cooling characteristics. Also, the effects of moving velocity of plate, jet velocity and nozzle pitch on the interfacial motion and the associated flow and temperature fields are quantified.
