NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF CONDENSING FLOWS IN A SUPERSONIC SEPARATOR

The present work focuses on understanding the condensation phenomena in the supersonic separator. A significant part of the work will be to assist in the development and implementation of numerical tools to model the condensation phenomena in the open source SU2 ( Stanford University Unstructured) . The SU2 solver is an open-source unstructured edge flow-solver, written in C++, under development at various universities, including Stanford University, TUDelft and the CFD community . Therefore, the principal aim of the present study is to gain physical insight into the modeling of nucleation and growth theories that involve all condensation process.
