Abstract
This isapioneeringpaperthatdealswiththesemi-steady-stateliquidfilmthicknessonarotatingdrum partially submergedinliquidusingCFD.TheCFDpredictionshavebeencomparedwithbothexperimental results andanalyticalsolutions.Theliquidfilmthicknessandthefilmrisingonacircularcurvedwall were monitoredforvariousrpmoftherotatingdrum.The2Dsimulationswereperformedneglectingthe end effects(assumingtherotatingdrumisverylong).Astherotatingdrumspeedwasincreased,thefilm thickness wasfoundtoincreaseatthefilmrisingsideandattheminimumfilmthicknesspoint(topof the rotatingdrum).Therewasneverbeenasteady-stateconditionreached,theoppositewasexpected as awiperisusedintheCFDcalculation(sameastheexperimentalinvestigation).Theliquidthatleaves the domainbythewiper(asoutflowboundarycondition)isforcedtoentertothedomainfromfarend to keepthelevelofthefreesurfaceconstant.
