2.4. Single Droplet Modeling 39<br />

where the first term in R.H.S includes all the forces such as aerodynamic drag, gravity,<br />

Basset, lift, and buoyancy etc.<br />

and the second term in R.H.S is the added mass<br />

force [174]. In Eq. (2.62), is the substantial or material <strong>der</strong>ivative.<br />

The force experienced by the droplets due to difference in velocities of droplets<br />

and surrounding gas is known as drag force, F d . The droplet velocity evolution by<br />

interactive drag induced by the surrounding gas, and gravity per unit droplet mass is<br />

commuted using the following relation, which describes droplet motion [175]<br />

F d = 3 8<br />

r ρ l<br />

where ρ g and u are the density and velocity of the surrounding gas, respectively, while<br />

ρ l , C D and g are liquid density, drag coefficient, and gravitational acceleration, respectively.<br />

The dependencies of the drag force are confined to the droplet radius, droplet<br />

shape, droplet density, ρ l , relative velocity between gas and droplet, u − v, gas density,<br />

ρ g , kinematic viscosity of the gas, η g , and surface tension, σ d .<br />

The drag coefficient, C D , is calculated as a function of the droplet Reynolds number,<br />

Re d = 2rρ g |u − v|/µ f , where µ f is the mean dynamic viscosity in the film, as [176]<br />
