Since capillary pressure depends on pore structure, controlling surface pore size can significantly influence drying performance. This study examines the impact of surface pore size on drying efficiency in convective conditions. Experiments were conducted using spherical glass beads of different diameters to analyze moisture distribution and drying behavior. The results show that reducing surface pore size enhances drying rates by maintaining high liquid saturation at the surface. However, excessively small pores increase viscous resistance, limiting water transport to the surface and accelerating the transition to the falling drying rate period, ultimately reducing drying efficiency. The findings suggest that an intermediate surface pore size can minimize drying time by balancing liquid retention and transport. To validate this approach, we tested drying efficiency on common textiles using porous sheets with tailored pores, achieving a drying time reduction of approximately 30%. This study provides deeper insights into drying mechanisms in heterogeneous porous media and offers practical strategies for energy-efficient drying using porous sheets with controlled pore structures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":339,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Multiphase Flow","volume":"191 ","pages":"Article 105301"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144167520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first part of this study, the drag coefficients for a stagnant array of particle pairs with different ellipsoidal aspect ratios and different separation distances in an air flow are determined in Eulerian Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations at steady state. From the steady state simulations (first type of simulations), new correlations for the drag coefficients of the leading and trailing droplets in a pair are obtained. Such correlations could potentially reveal the ratio of the drag coefficients of the ellipsoidal droplets in the stream to that of an isolated ellipsoidal droplet. In the second part of this study, transient discrete phase model (DPM) simulations of the grouping process in monodisperse streams of isopropanol droplet pairs in initially stagnant air are presented, utilizing Eulerian-Lagrangian modeling. For these simulations, a drag coefficient model is supplied initially. The usage of the drag coefficients obtained in the steady state Eulerian simulations (first type of simulations) for the subsequent transient DPM simulations (second type of simulations), is justified by the viscosity ratio between the droplet liquid and the ambient air, which is 131. For high viscosity ratio and low Weber number, the drag coefficient of a viscous sphere is similar to that of a solid sphere. Using these drag correlations from the first part of this study in transient DPM simulations of spherical droplets and oscillating droplet shapes in the second part, a slight decrease in collision time was observed for the oscillating droplets relative to the spherical droplets. Larger initial droplet velocity and smaller initial distance between droplets in a pair were found to increase the collision time difference between ellipsoidal and spherical droplets. These results coincide with the DNS results reported recently. Two mechanisms of grouping enhancement due to droplet shape oscillations are suggested. The first is the negative drag coefficient of the trailing droplet at specific geometries, which can be regarded as a weak attraction between the droplets.

Comparisons with actual vapor velocity data from a different DEBORA campaign, featuring a lower resolution, reveal that the original model underestimates vapor velocity in flows outside of the highly subcooled domain. In response, we propose an alternative model for vapor velocity, based on said measurements. This model employs a turbulent profile law for radial velocity distribution and derives the mean vapor velocity from mass quality, using linear interpolation between two limit behaviours: homogeneous mixture at low void fractions and saturated flow at high void fractions.

We analyze the problem using high-resolution one-way coupled direct numerical simulations where the particles are modeled as material points. The physical parameters are chosen in the same range used in recent particle-resolved simulations (PRS, Fornari et al., 2016; Fornari et al., 2016), against which we compare. The results of the point-wise simulations are in good agreement with those of the PRS, showing a reduced settling speed for the range of parameters studied, relevant for suspensions settling in aqueous media, at volume fractions up to a few percent for density ratios of the order of one. The results are obtained neglecting the inter-particles and particle–fluid interactions, while the various forces (e.g. Stokes drag, added mass, lift force) are deliberately included/excluded in the equations of motion of the particles to highlight their respective contributions. At a high Galileo number, the mean settling velocity is only slightly affected by turbulent fluctuations, and it is the same as that obtained for the settling velocity of a single particle in a quiescent fluid. As the Galileo number is reduced, the settling velocity is increasingly affected by turbulent fluctuations that cause a significant decrease in the particle sedimentation speed.

The flow pattern is more complex and consists of an outer circulation plus an inner dual-roll structure with one roll above the other. First we discuss spectra of the thermal fluctuations. In the gas, the spectrum is bimodal. The high-frequency peak is due to natural convection while the low-frequency one is due to the interaction with water at the free surface. Then, we present the results of our POD analysis and elaborate on the properties of the dominant spatial and temporal modes. The spectra of the temporal modes are also examined herein. Our analysis shows that there is high correlation and coherence between the low-frequency signals in the dominant modes of the two phases, which implies that the convective patterns in the two phases influence each other. We also present the reconstructed snapshots with the dominant POD modes and discuss their influence. Our analysis shows that they provide a fairly accurate approximation of the instantaneous flow patterns.

Existing theoretical models built on the polygonal capillaries fail to capture fluid transport across the entire range of wettability parameters due to the limitations in fluid and wettability distributions, posing challenges for accurate prediction of macroscale flow processes. To address this knowledge gap, a novel model of two-phase flow for cylindrical capillaries featuring heterogeneous-wet state is proposed based on the Mayer-Stowe-Princen theory, taking into account the geometric evolution of displacement interfaces. According to the present model, the piston-like displacements driven by main terminal meniscus with dual curvatures, stepwise and mixed displacements controlled alternately by the main terminal and arc menisci are identified. Sensitivity analyses show that a diminished difference in contact angle facilitates the occurrence of piston-like flow, and reduces the influence of oil-wet proportion on capillary entry pressure. Moreover, stepwise displacements are primarily governed by the main terminal meniscus with a single curvature structure, whereas the upward sweep range of arc meniscus is wider during mixed flow involving both drainage and imbibition mechanisms. For stepwise displacement, as oil-wet proportion increases, the sweep range of the main terminal meniscus in oil-wet region expands, and that of the arc meniscus first increases and then decreases, reaching a maximum at an oil-wet proportion of 50 %. Furthermore, nonlinear flow occurs when arc meniscus is close to the capillary surfaces with strong wettability. Compared with the stepwise displacement, the piston-like flow exhibits stronger drainage resistance and imbibition dynamics due to the combined impacts of two wettabilities on the main terminal meniscus. This theoretical model effectively simulates two-phase flow across the full range of wettability parameters, laying the foundation for precise prediction of macroscale flow patterns.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":339,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Multiphase Flow","volume":"190 ","pages":"Article 105274"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143907638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
