The deposition rates for a water spray on a plate have been studied in a rectangular box configuration to determine the effects of turbulence and droplet size in a relatively simple geometrical configuration, with the aim being to assess the ability of a CFD simulation to predict the actual wall deposition fluxes and the trends in these fluxes in such a geometry. The main air velocities that were used in this study were 1 m/s and 2 m/s inside the box. The results from the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations underpredicted the percentage deposition on the plate significantly (by about 75% and lower) compared with the experiments. The droplet size effects on the deposition rates were studied by varying the atomizer air pressure (air flow rate). The inlet turbulence level was changed by placing a mesh at the box inlet. The results of experiments and simulations showed similar trends when decreasing the droplet size. Increasing the turbulence intensity at the box inlet seems to result in underpredicting the actual amounts of deposition, since the movements of the fine droplets are not well predicted by RANS approaches, because the RANS approaches do not predict the gas-phase turbulence levels near the walls well. The other reasons for the underprediction in the simulations could be coalescence of droplets in the spray, dispersion of droplets due to turbulence and radial variations in droplet velocities and sizes in the spray.
