In order to study the basic laws of droplet collision and the prediction model of collision results in a seawater circulating cooling system, the volume of fluid (VOF) method is used to capture the two-phase interface, and the dynamic mesh adaptation technology is utilized to improve the solution accuracy, and a direct numerical analysis and simulation of the head-on collision process of binary seawater droplets are carried out. Firstly, the collision experiment of n-tetradecane droplets in nitrogen is numerically simulated to verify the reliability of the numerical model. A numerical study on the head-on collision of equal-sized binary seawater droplets under normal temperature and pressure is carried out, the flow field structure and flow mechanism during the droplet collision process are analyzed, the influence laws of different droplet diameters and different seawater concentrations on the collision process are studied, and two types of collision results, namely coalescence and self-reversal separation, as well as their critical Weber numbers are obtained. A nomogram of the seawater droplet collision results under different Ohnesorge numbers is summarized.
