Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fluid mechanics technology, and in particular relates to a method for simulating viscoelastic liquid film flow at medium Reynolds number. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid film flow is a widespread phenomenon in daily life, production, and technology, including in the biological field (such as the flow of human tissue fluid) and in industry. It also exists in the field of aircraft thermal protection. For silicon-based materials, which are heat-resistant materials whose primary change is melting and loss, under aerodynamic heating conditions, the solid material melts at a certain temperature, forming a molten state, and then flows under the influence of airflow shear force and gravity.

[0003] Research on liquid film flow began in the 1940s and 50s, with the Kapitza father and son first discovering the phenomenon experimentally and conducting theoretical studies. Since then, this topic has attracted considerable attention from scholars. They have used boundary layer integral methods and long-wavelength theory, based on governing equations, constitutive equations, and boundary conditions, to study Newtonian and viscoelastic liquid film flows. However, these studies have largely been limited to liquid film flows and wave transport driven by gravity. Research on liquid film flows driven by airflow shear forces and evaporation effects has mostly focused on experimental testing. For example, Budakli experimentally studied the flow and heat transfer of liquid films driven by gravity and airflow shear forces. Currently, theoretical and numerical studies on liquid film flows and wave transport influenced by airflow shear forces and evaporation effects are relatively lacking. Summary of the Invention
