Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To investigate behaviors of attachment phenomenon of paint droplets around a target for automotive spray painting, numerical simulations with Volume of Fluid method were conducted. We developed our existing simulation code, and simple-CLSVOF method was introduced. Furthermore, an interpolation of viscosity in VOF simulation was optimized. In the numerical simulations, a single droplet was impacted at a fixed wall, and the numerical results correspond to previous experimental ones. When two droplets were impacted at a wall, the liquid was floated at the impacted point of liquid films, and the height of the floated liquid was varied depending on the distance between the droplets. Moreover, we developed our code to take account of the effect of electric field, and the numerical results showed that the shape of a falling droplet was changed by the effect of electric field.
