Book excerpt: Sea surface temperature accessible through use of remote sensing techniques (IR imaging, etc.) suggests abundant flow and thermal field information at the ocean surface that is closely related to subsurface turbulent activities. The suggested information includes wind stress, surface dissipation, underneath velocity and vorticity, and heat and gas transportation. Due to the constantly outgoing interfacial latent and sensible heat flux, the very surface of the ocean is often cooler than the bulk. This so called 'cool skin layer' below the very surface is greatly involved in the underlying interfacial turbulence and is the primary support of using sea surface temperature imaging to detect the subsurface activities. In addition, studies have shown that for this detection method the effects of ubiquitous surfactants (surface free agents) to the subsurface turbulence should also be considered. In the case when the wind stress at the surface is far less significant than the buoyancy force in the water phase, the cool skin layer accumulates and triggers free convection. A series of numerical simulations is conducted to reproduce such a free convection flow to obtain detailed statistics and structural features in order to investigate the correlation between the surface temperature and the subsurface activities of the flow. The simulations are also aimed at the quantitative evaluation of the surfactant effects on the flow. The results of the simulations demonstrate that the surface temperature is statistically and structurally correlated to the subsurface activities in various patterns, and that surfactant has a certain influence to the subsurface turbulence with an overall effect of reducing the average surface temperature. Based upon the framework of the controlled flux method, a novel approach to actively determine the interfacial gas transfer velocity at the free convection surface is proposed and numerically investigated. The proposed and simulated approach employs a temporal volumetric heating source to suppress the free convection. The heating source is defined and parameterized with respect to the physical properties of radiation absorption in water phase. Observation and interpretation of the surface temperature evolution and the flow features during and after the heating suggest the effective suppression of the free convection, the onset of the Rayleigh instability and the re-establishment of the free convection. Based on that, an analytical conduction model is formulated to obtain the heat transfer velocity at the free surface from the surface temperature. The gas transfer velocity is then inferred through similarity. The electronic version of this dissertation is accessible from http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/152834
Download or read book Bubbly Flows written by Martin Sommerfeld and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book summarises the outcom of a priority research programme: 'Analysis, Modelling and Computation of Multiphase Flows'. The results of 24 individual research projects are presented. The main objective of the research programme was to provide a better understanding of the physical basis for multiphase gas-liquid flows as they are found in numerous chemical and biochemical reactors. The research comprises steady and unsteady multiphase flows in three frequently found reactor configurations, namely bubble columns without interiors, airlift loop reactors, and aerated stirred vessels. For this purpose new and improved measurement techniques were developed. From the resulting knowledge and data, new and refined models for describing the underlying physical processes were developed, which were used for the establishment and improvement of analytic as well as numerical methods for predicting multiphase reactors. Thereby, the development, lay-out and scale-up of such processes should be possible on a more reliable basis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High fidelity nuclear reactor thermal hydraulic simulations are a hot research topic in the development of nuclear engineering technology. The three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Multi-phase Fluid Dynamics (CMFD) methods have attracted significant attention in predicting single-phase and multi-phase flows under steady-state or transient scenarios in the field of nuclear reactor engineering. Compared with three-dimensional thermal hydraulic methods, the traditional one-dimensional system analysis method contains inherent defects in the required accuracy and spatial resolution for a number of important nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulic phenomena. At present the CFD method has been widely adopted in the nuclear industry, across both light water reactors and liquid metal cooled fast reactors, providing an effective solution for complex issues of thermal hydraulic analysis. However, the CFD method employs empirical models for turbulence simulation, heat transfer, multi-phase interaction and chemical reactions. Such models must be validated before they can be used with confidence in nuclear reactor applications. In addition, user practice guidelines play a critical role in achieving reliable results from CFD simulations.
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.

This book was released on 2009-06-25 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to high-speed computers and advanced algorithms, the important field of modelling multiphase flows is an area of rapid growth. This one-stop account – now in paperback, with corrections from the first printing – is the ideal way to get to grips with this topic, which has significant applications in industry and nature. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert and includes extensive references to current research. All of the chapters are essentially independent and so the book can be used for a range of advanced courses and the self-study of specific topics. No other book covers so many topics related to multiphase flow, and it will therefore be warmly welcomed by researchers and graduate students of the subject across engineering, physics, and applied mathematics.
