Abstract

This paper describes a pressure-based solver based on the finite volume approach for the simulation of high-speed wet steam flows with non-equilibrium condensation. The governing mathematical model consists of the system of Navier–Stokes equations for common mixture density, velocity, and enthalpy equipped with an appropriate nonlinear equation of state based on IAPWS formulation and with additional equations for liquid mass fraction and droplet radius distribution. The proposed method has been implemented into open-source package OpenFOAM and validated using available experimental data for nozzle flows. Finally, it was used for simulations of flows in turbine cascades.
