Abstract

The present work extends the Integral Boundary Layer (IBL) Method to centrifu-
gal force driven thin film flow with mass transfer. The proposed hybrid approach
combines the IBL based solution of the flow field with a Finite Difference
based solution of the mass transport equation, avoiding any concentration profile
assumptions and restrictions on surface chemistry. In comparison against results
from highly resolved Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, the
proposed concept is proven as a computationally efficient and accurate method
well applicable to infinitely fast surface reactions as well as finite rate kinetics.
