Abstract
Series of MPS simulations have been conducted using two-dimensional geometry. The simulation was based on Sudha’s experiment (2018) about initial velocity variations on molten Wood’s Metal (WM). The molten WM would be flowed through nozzle with the diameter was 6 mm. It would impinge to the Woods Metal Plate (WMP) which 270 mm below the nozzle. The WMP diameter was 470 mm. The temperature of molten WM and WMP were set at 573 K and 300 K, respectively. The initial velocity of molten WM was varied at 0,327 m/s, 0,397 m/s, 0,498 m/s in the y-negative direction. The simulation was calculated by using 2D MPS with additional procedures such as heat transfer calculation and defining a new type of wall particle. The results showed some different spread patterns, leading edge and phase fraction change for each initial velocity.
