The latter involves a strong interaction between a liquid film transported by a moving strip and a high speed gas jet. The solver combines a high-fidelity model for the gas jet with a simplified model for the liquid film. The high-fidelity model is a solver that resolves the gas jet flow in OpenFOAM, an open- source CFD software built from C++ libraries. The model for the liquid film is an in-house finite volume solver implemented in Python. The communication between both models is handled with the plug-in coupling software preCICE.Keyphrases: computational fluid dynamics (cfd), hot dip galvanization, multiphysics solver, reduced order models, two phase flows In: Alvaro Leitao and Lucía Ramos (editors).
