Modelling flow and heat transfer in spacer-filled membrane distillation channels using open source CFD code

2013

Abstract A good understanding of the details of hydrodynamic and heat transport conditions and their impact on temperature polarisation and pressure drops is essential for optimum design of membrane distillation (MD) modules. To this end, the present work reports on initial progress in the development of a tool for 3D simulation of spacer-filled MD channels based on the open source CFD code library OpenFOAM. The paper discusses a number of modelling and implementation aspects including model geometry and computational domain, choice of boundary conditions, and discretisation schemes. The results pertaining to the effect of three different spacer types on the fluid dynamics and heat transfer…
