✦ Synopsis

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of the formation of the rising liquid thin film and its flow characteristics on the fluted surface of a horizontal tube. By analyzing the wetting behaviors of the fluted tube, which was primarily responsible for the formation of the rising liquid thin film, a numerical model of one-phase fluid was established to analyze the distribution of the velocity and thickness of the rising liquid thin film during its evaporation. The behaviors of the flow characteristics were discussed and the results showed that geometric properties of the fluted surface of a horizontal tube and surface tension of the fluid were essential for the formation of a continuous and uniform liquid thin film. Theoretical analysis suggested that the capillary force created by the fluid surface tension was a key value for the formation of the thin film. The heat and mass transfer characteristics of the formed thin film also had an effect on the formation of the rising film.
