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 338 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 Computational Methods in Multiphase Flow III

Download or read book Computational Methods in Multiphase Flow III written by Andrea Alberto Mammoli and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A common feature of multiphase flows is that a dispersed or discontinuous phase is being carried by a continuous phase, for example water drops in gas flow, solid particles in water flow, or gas bubbles in liquid flow. The overall behavior of the flow is shaped largely by the interaction between the discontinuous elements--drops, particles, bubbles

Book Multiphase Flow in Porous Media

Download or read book Multiphase Flow in Porous Media written by Myron B. III Allen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has seen remarkable growth in research related to petroleum reseIVoir simulation. This growth reflects several developments, not the least of which is the increased interest in oil recovery technologies requiring sophisticated engineer ing. Augmenting this interest has been the broader availability of supercomputers capable of handling the tremendous computational demands of a typical reseIVoir simulator. The field of reseIVoir simulation incorporates several major facets of applied mathematics. First, in view of the varieyt and complexity of the processes encoun tered, it is imperative that the modeler adopt a systematic approach to establishing the equations governing reseIVoir flows. Second, the mathematical structure of these flow equations needs to be carefully analyzed in order to develop appropriate and efficient numerical methods for their solution. Third, since some aspects of the discretized flow equations are typically stiff, one must develop efficient schemes for solving large sparse systems of linear equations. This monograph has three parts, each devoted to one of these three aspects of reseIVoir modeling. The text grew out of a set of lectures presented by the authors in the autumn of 1986 at the IBM Scientific Center in Bergen, Norway. We feel that it is only appropriate to caution the reader that many of the ideas that we present in this monograph do not reflect standard approaches in petroleum reseIVoir simulation. In fact, our aim is to outline promising new ways of attacking reseIVoir simulation prob lems, rather than to compile another textbook for the mainstream.

Book Multiphase Flow Dynamics 4

Download or read book Multiphase Flow Dynamics 4 written by Nikolay Ivanov Kolev and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-24 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present Volume 4 of the successful monograh package “Multiphase Flow Dynamics”is devoted to selected Chapters of the multiphase fluid dynamics that are important for practical applications but did not find place in the previous volumes. The state of the art of the turbulence modeling in multiphase flows is presented. As introduction, some basics of the single phase boundary layer theory including some important scales and flow oscillation characteristics in pipes and rod bundles are presented. Then the scales characterizing the dispersed flow systems are presented. The description of the turbulence is provided at different level of complexity: simple algebraic models for eddy viscosity, simple algebraic models based on the Boussinesq hypothesis, modification of the boundary layer share due to modification of the bulk turbulence, modification of the boundary layer share due to nucleate boiling. The role of the following forces on the mathematical description of turbulent flows is discussed: the lift force, the lubrication force in the wall boundary layer, and the dispersion force. A pragmatic generalization of the k-eps models for continuous velocity field is proposed containing flows in large volumes and flows in porous structures. A Methods of how to derive source and sinks terms for multiphase k-eps models is presented. A set of 13 single- and two phase benchmarks for verification of k-eps models in system computer codes are provided and reproduced with the IVA computer code as an example of the application of the theory. This methodology is intended to help other engineers and scientists to introduce this technology step-by-step in their own engineering practice. In many practical application gases are solved in liquids under given conditions, released under other conditions and therefore affecting technical processes for good of for bad. Useful information on the solubility of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide in water under large interval of pressures and temperatures is collected, and appropriate mathematical approximation functions are provided. In addition methods for the computation of the diffusion coefficients are described. With this information solution and dissolution dynamics in multiphase fluid flows can be analyzed. For this purpose the non-equilibrium absorption and release on bubble, droplet and film surfaces under different conditions is mathematically described. A systematic set of internally consistent state equations for diesel fuel gas and liquid valid in broad range of changing pressure and temperature is provided. This new second edition includes various updates, extensions, improvements and corrections.

Book Numerical Simulation of the Internal Two Phase Flow Within an Aerated Liquid Injector and Its Injection Into the Corresponding High speed Crossflows

Download or read book Numerical Simulation of the Internal Two Phase Flow Within an Aerated Liquid Injector and Its Injection Into the Corresponding High speed Crossflows written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study investigates the flow structures within an aerated-liquid (barbotage) injector, which is designed to facilitate the rapid breakup of a hydrocarbon fuel jet prior to its entering a scramjet combustor, and the spray structures in the corresponding crossflow. Simulations of the transient, three-dimensional, two-phase flow within the "out-in" injector operating at different gas-to-liquid (GLR) mass ratios and in the corresponding crossflow domain have been performed, and the results compared with experimental pressure measurements of the injector and shadowgraph images of the crossflow. The numerical method solves a "mixture" model of two-phase flow using a preconditioning strategy. High-order spatial accuracy and good interface-capturing properties are facilitated by the use of shock-capturing schemes combined with second order TVD methods. Also, an immersed boundary method is used to investigate the probe effects, and a droplet transport model is used in the crossflow simulations to get more details about effect of droplet size. The injector simulation results highlight the effects of mesh refinement and turbulence model on the predicted solutions. The pressure drop across the injector is predicted reasonably well by the computational methodology, and the trend of increasing injector pressure with increasing GLR is captured properly. Predictions of the absolute pressure level within the injector show some discrepancies in comparison with experimental data but agree well with theoretical estimates. The results of the injector simulations with plenum included are consistent with the results of the discharge tube cases. If the centerline pressure is close to the experimental data, the gas mass flow rate at outlet will approach a value below the experimental data. If the gas mass flow rate at outlet approaches the experimental data, then the centerline pressure will be higher than the experimental data, but agrees well with theoretical analyses. The intr.
