Hydrodynamics of fluid flow approaching a moving boundary

Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

An experimental and numerical study has been conducted to investigate the flow field in the vicinity of a moving solid boundary that passes through a free surface into a liquid phase. Through the use of particle image velocimetry (PIV) techniques, the variation in the liquid velocity field in the vicinity of the three-phase contact line has been quantified for solid boundary velocities ranging between 0.12 and 1.01 m s−1. The experimental measurements provide good verification for a preliminary numerical model that predicts the bulk-bath flow patterns and boundary layer thickness.
