Description
Summary:The results of computational experiments simulating the triggering of the quench front propagation on the superheated vertically oriented metal plates are presented. The plates are quenched by a gravitationally flowing down liquid nitrogen film. The temperature of the test samples at the beginning of the process was higher than the critical temperature and the Leidenfrost temperature, which means that direct long-term liquid-solid contact is impossible. For this reason, the front is initially motionless. As a result of numerical simulation, a dynamic pattern of the quench front propagation on a high-temperature surface was obtained. Analysis of the results allowed to find the realistic values of heat sink into the cooling medium, as well as the parameters of the local temperature disturbance, its spatial extent and amplitude, at which the conditions are created for triggering the process of quench front propagation on the high-temperature surface. Direct comparison of the numerical simulations results with experimental data on the velocity, geometry of the quench front and on the dynamical pattern of the process confirmed the reliability of the results obtained.
