Modelling the defrost process in complex geometries – part 2: wall-function based coupling to a multi-region CFD solver

Presence of frost in air coolers reduces the performance and thus has to be removed frequently. A method commonly applied for frost removal is hot-gas defrosting. For the efficient design of this periodically performed operating sequence, a precise prediction of the process is essential. A CFD simul...
