Book An Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Two phase Slug Flow in a Vertical Tube

Download or read book An Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Two phase Slug Flow in a Vertical Tube written by Julio Manuel Mendes DeJesus and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The multi-dimensional liquid velocity field and interfacial configuration of Taylor bubbles rising in stagnant kerosene in a vertical 25.6 mm I.D. pipe was investigated experimentally with a non-intrusive flow visualization technique based on photochromic dye activation, and numerically using a computer program for incompressible flows with free surfaces. The experimental results show that a change in flow direction of the liquid occurred at the nose of the Taylor bubble. From the nose, the liquid film accelerated downwards as the velocity profile became characteristic of developing falling film flow. At the tail, the liquid film penetrated into the wake creating vortices of different sizes. The film penetration distance in the wake region was not proportional to the film velocity, and therefore the bubble length. Within 1 to 1.5 tube diameters (26-38 mm) below the tail of the Taylor bubble, the vortices rapidly decayed and the liquid near the wall returned to essentially a stagnant state. However, small vortices in the bulk fluid remained visible up to 100 mm behind the Taylor bubble. An analysis of the flow revealed the liquid film surrounding the neatly cylindrical portion of the Taylor bubble to be approximately one-dimensional, whereas near the nose and in the wake it was highly two-dimensional. Furthermore, the velocity in the wake region was determined to be qualitatively similar for different runs. A simple predictive procedure for estimating the radially averaged streamwise film velocity and Taylor bubble shape concluded that the boundary-layer development at the pipe wall only influenced the falling film velocity. The numerical simulation of the Taylor bubble flow was conducted using the volume-of-fluid approach. However, the range of physical property values that yielded stable numerical results for the inertia-controlled rise of the bubble was severely limited, due to significant stability problems. The Taylor bubble shape was well predicted and velocity profiles in the liquid surrounding the Taylor bubble were computed with partial success for the first time in comparison with measured results. The flow in the wake was only qualitatively similar to the experimental data.

Book excerpt: Escoamentos bifásicos no regime de golfadas são caracterizados pelaalternância de pacotes de líquido e grandes bolhas de gás na tubulação, sendoassociados a altas perdas de carga, além de trazer uma indesejada intermitênciaaos escoamentos. O desenvolvimento do regime de golfadas em tubulaçõeshorizontais se dá a partir do escoamento estratificado em decorrência de doisfatores: do crescimento natural de pequenas perturbações (por um mecanismo deinstabilidade do tipo Kelvin-Helmholtz) ou devido à acumulação de líquidocausada por mudanças de inclinação no perfil do duto. O presente trabalhoconsiste da simulação numérica do surgimento das golfadas em ambas assituações descritas acima, assim como do subseqüente desenvolvimento doescoamento neste padrão para um regime estatisticamente permanente. Aprevisão do escoamento é obtida utilizando-se uma formulação unidimensionalbaseada no Modelo de Dois Fluidos. Parâmetros médios das golfadas(comprimento, velocidade e freqüência) são comparados com estudos numéricose experimentais da literatura, obtendo-se uma concordância bastante satisfatória, especialmente dada a simplicidade de uma formulação unidimensional.

Book Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamics

Download or read book Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamics written by J.J. Lielpeteris and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquid metal MHO is within the scope of two series of international conferences. One is the International Congress on "MHD Power Generation", held every four years, which includes technical and economical aspects as well as scientific questions. The other if the Beer-Sheva Seminar on "MHO Flows and Turbulence", held every three years in Israel. In addition to these well established meetings, an IUTAM Symposium was previously organized in Cambridge (UK) in 1982 on "Metallurgical Applications of MHD" by the late Arthur Shercliff. It was focussed on a very specific subject developing radiply from the middle of the 1970's. The magnetic field was generally AC, including frequencies high enough for the skin-depth to be much smaller than the typical length scale of the liquide pool. And the development of new technologies, or the improvement of existing ones, was the main justification of most of the researches presented and discussed. Only two participants from Eastern countries attended this Symposium. By the middle of the 1980's we felt that on this very same topic ideas had reached much more maturity than in 1982. We also realized that a line of research on MHD flows related to fusion reactors (tokamaks) was developing significantly, with particular emphasis on flows at large interaction parameter.

Book Direct Numerical Simulations of Gas   Liquid Multiphase Flows

Download or read book Direct Numerical Simulations of Gas Liquid Multiphase Flows written by Grétar Tryggvason and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accurately predicting the behaviour of multiphase flows is a problem of immense industrial and scientific interest. Modern computers can now study the dynamics in great detail and these simulations yield unprecedented insight. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to direct numerical simulations of multiphase flows for researchers and graduate students. After a brief overview of the context and history the authors review the governing equations. A particular emphasis is placed on the 'one-fluid' formulation where a single set of equations is used to describe the entire flow field and interface terms are included as singularity distributions. Several applications are discussed, showing how direct numerical simulations have helped researchers advance both our understanding and our ability to make predictions. The final chapter gives an overview of recent studies of flows with relatively complex physics, such as mass transfer and chemical reactions, solidification and boiling, and includes extensive references to current work.

Book An Analytical Numerical Model for Two Phase Slug Flow Through a Sudden Area Change in Microchannels

Download or read book An Analytical Numerical Model for Two Phase Slug Flow Through a Sudden Area Change in Microchannels written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this article, two new analytical models have been developed to calculate two-phase slug flow pressure drop in microchannels through a sudden contraction. Even though many studies have been reported on two-phase flow in microchannels, considerable discrepancies still exist, mainly due to the difficulties in experimental setup and measurements. Numerical simulations were performed to support the new analytical models and to explore in more detail the physics of the flow in microchannels with a sudden contraction. Both analytical and numerical results were compared to the available experimental data and other empirical correlations. Results show that models, which were developed based on the slug and semi-slug assumptions, agree well with experiments in microchannels. Moreover, in contrast to the previous empirical correlations which were tuned for a specific geometry, the new analytical models are capable of taking geometrical parameters as well as flow conditions into account.

Book Introduction to Hydrodynamic Stability

Download or read book Introduction to Hydrodynamic Stability written by P. G. Drazin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-09-09 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instability of flows and their transition to turbulence are widespread phenomena in engineering and the natural environment, and are important in applied mathematics, astrophysics, biology, geophysics, meteorology, oceanography and physics as well as engineering. This is a textbook to introduce these phenomena at a level suitable for a graduate course, by modelling them mathematically, and describing numerical simulations and laboratory experiments. The visualization of instabilities is emphasized, with many figures, and in references to more still and moving pictures. The relation of chaos to transition is discussed at length. Many worked examples and exercises for students illustrate the ideas of the text. Readers are assumed to be fluent in linear algebra, advanced calculus, elementary theory of ordinary differential equations, complex variables and the elements of fluid mechanics. The book is aimed at graduate students but will also be very useful for specialists in other fields.
