Abstract

This study presents a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method with Peng-Robinson equation of state for simulating drop vaporization and drop impact on a hot surface. The conservation equations of momentum and energy and Peng-Robinson equation of state are applied to describe both the liquid and gas phases. The governing equations are solved numerically by the SPH method. The phase change between the liquid and gas phases are simulated directly without using any phase change models. The numerical method is validated by comparing numerical results with analytical solutions for the vaporization of n-heptane drops at different temperatures. Using the SPH method, the processes of n-heptane drops impacting on a solid wall with different temperatures are studied numerically. The results show that the size of the film formed by drop impact decreases when temperature increases. When the temperature is high enough, the drop will rebound.
