Numerical Analysis of Icing and Condensation Mechanism sing Enthalpy Method

엔탈피방법을 이용한 결빙 및 응축 메커니즘 해석

A solver for icing and condensation of water has been developed. The phase change process was solved by the enthalpy method. For the code validation, the temperature and the phase change from water to ice of the driven cavity were calculated. Also, the melting process of the frost on the windshield glass of an automobile has been simulated. The calculation showed a good agreement with analytical solution and other numerical results. Using the present validated code, the condensation of water vapor has been first tried. The computed results provided some physical features of condensation phenomena even though experimental data and other numerical data were not available. For future work, it is recommended to throughly investigate the effects of boundary conditions on the solution.
