A numerical study of effects of counter-current gas flow rate on local hydrodynamic characteristics of falling films over horizontal tubes

A three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model based on the VOF method is developed to investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of falling film over horizontal tubes. The model not only considers gravity and surface tension, but also considers drag force when counter-current gas fl...
