Abstract
The numerical study of the local flow structure and heat transfer in a gas-droplet turbulent flow behind a forward-facing step in the two-phase gas-droplet flow is carried out. Two-dimensional steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are used for the numerical solution. They were written taking into account the presence of a dispersed phase. The Eulerian two-fluid approach is used to describe the flow dynamics and heat and mass transfer in the gaseous and dispersed phases. The turbulence of the carrier phase was described using an elliptical model for the transport of Reynolds stress components, taking into account the presence of droplets. The effect of evaporating droplets flowing after the forward-facing step on the local flow structure, turbulence, distribution of the dispersed phase, and heat transfer inetensification is analyzed.
