Class
Foam::meltingEvaporationModels::interfaceOxideRate
Description
The \c interfaceOxideRate is a simple model to calculate the formation
rate of oxide inclusions (\c mDotOxide), which is a local function of
the volume fraction of reducing agent (\c alpha), temperature (\c T)
and oxide-inclusion density (\c chi).
The oxide-inclusion formation rate is modelled as follows:
\f[
S_\chi = C_\chi S_\alpha S_T S_\rho
\f]
with
\f[
S_\alpha = \alpha (1 - \alpha)
\f]
\f[
S_T =
\exp{
1 - \frac{1}{max(T - T_{solidus}/(T_liquidus - T_solidus), 1e-6)}
}
\f]
\f[
S_\rho =
max \left(\frac{\chi_{crit} - \chi_{curr}}{\chi_{curr}}, 0\right)
\f]
where
\vartable
S_\chi | Oxide-inclusion formation rate [kg/(m^3 s)]
C_\chi | Oxide-inclusion formation rate constant [kg/(m^3 s)]
S_\alpha | Formation factor due to volume fraction of reducing agent [-]
S_T | Formation factor due to temperature [-]
S_\rho | Formation factor due to oxide-inclusion density [-]
\alpha | Volume fraction of reducing agent [-]
T | Local temperature [K]
T_{solidus} | Solidus temperature of reducing agent [K]
T_{liquidus} | Liquidus temperature of reducing agent [K]
\chi_{crit} | Critical oxide-inclusion density [kg/m^3]
\chi_{curr} | Current oxide-inclusion density [kg/m^3]
\endvartable

Usage
Minimal example by using \c constant/phaseProperties.massTransferModel:
\verbatim
massTransferModel
(
(liquid to oxide)
{
type interfaceOxideRate;
C ;
Tliquidus ;
Tsolidus ;
oxideCrit ;
isoAlpha ;
}
);
\endverbatim
where the entries mean:
\table
Property | Description | Type | Reqd | Deflt
type | Type name: interfaceOxideRate | word | yes | -
C | Oxide-inclusion formation rate constant | scalar | yes | -
Tliquidus | Liquidus temperature of reducing agent | scalar | yes | -
Tsolidus | Solidus temperature of reducing agent | scalar | yes | -
oxideCrit | Critical oxide-inclusion density | scalar | yes | -
isoAlpha | Location of the source | scalar | no | 0.5
\endtable
Note
- \c oxideCrit should be determined experimentally (CSC:p. 616).
- \c C should be determined by practical production (CSC:p. 616).
