Multiphysics Eulerian-Lagrangian Electrostatic Particle Spray- And Deposition Model for OpenFOAM® and KaleidoSim® Cloud-Platform

A finite volume based Eulerian-Lagrangian model has been created within OpenFoam® in order to predict the behavior of particle clouds as well as particle deposition thicknesses on substrates under the influence of electro-static effects. Resulting deposition pattern predictions were experimentally validated. It is demonstrated qualitatively and quantitatively that the measured deposition thicknesses and patterns vary by- i) Applied voltage, ii) Airflow rate, pistol-substrate iii) Distance & iv) Angle.
