Abstract
To explore the influence of ash slag adhering to the scrubbing-cooling tube on the turbulent falling film flow, three hemispheres with different radii (R = 2 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm) were used to simulate the slag. Ultrasonic Doppler Velocimetry was used to investigate the liquid film’s thickness distribution and fluctuation characteristics under Reynolds number of liquid film Ref ≈8.75 × 103 ––2.63 × 104. The liquid film thickness distribution at low Reynolds numbers exhibits an isosceles triangle when subjected to R = 4 mm and 6 mm hemispheres. At high Reynolds numbers, the average thickness of the liquid film is smaller downstream of the three simulants. The simulants can enhance the liquid film’s perturbations. A mathematical model has been established to predict the mean liquid film thickness on hemispherical simulants, and the relative difference is within 10 %. The probability density distribution curves of the instantaneous liquid film thickness on the simulant exhibit multimodality.
