The paper presents 3D numerical modeling of spreading dynamics of R21 (mol. fraction: 0.9) and R114 refrigerant mixture film. We considered an outer flow along a round vertical cylinder at Reynolds numbers of 50 and contact angles of 10°, 30°, 50°, 70° and 90°. The simulation was performed in OpenFOAM software on the basis of the volume of fluid (VOF) method. We obtained that the contact angle has a key effect on the wetted area due to the change of liquid spreading modes over the cylinder. At that, we distinguished the following flow modes: the stable jet mode, the cascade jet mode, the jet-droplet mode and the drying mode. These modes are similar ones for horizontal tubes. In some flow modes over the vertical cylinder, we demonstrated the existence of the back liquid flow between jets, directed against gravity.
