Measuring the volume of a bubble, especially at its detachment, is a basic subject in gas-liquid two-phase flow research. A new indirect method for this measurement under constant flow conditions is presented. An electronic device is designed and constructed based on laser beam intensity. This device calculates the frequency of the bubble formation by measuring the total time of the formation p...

this study is concerned with the prediction of particles’ velocity in a dilute turbulent gas-solidboundary layer flow using a fully eulerian two-fluid model. the closures required for equationsdescribing the particulate phase are derived from the kinetic theory of granular flows. gas phaseturbulence is modeled by one-equation model and solid phase turbulence by mlh theory. resultsof one-way and...

We consider the numerical simulation of a three-dimensional two-phase incompressible flow with a viscous interface. The simulation is based on a sharp interface Navier-Stokes model and the Boussinesq-Scriven constitutive law for the interface viscous stress tensor. In the recent paper [Soft Matter 7, 7797–7804, 2011] a model problem with a spherical droplet in a Stokes Poiseuille flow with a Bo...

We consider in this paper numerical approximations of two-phase incompressible flows with different densities and viscosities. We present a variational derivation for a thermodynamically consistent phase-field model that admits an energy law. Two decoupled time discretization schemes for the coupled nonlinear phase-field model are constructed and shown to be energy stable. Numerical experiments...

In this work, we develop a self-consistent physical model of bubbles in a gas-solid 1 two-phase flow. Based on PR state equation, and a detailed specific heat ratio equation of bubbles, 2 we self-consistently evaluate kinetic equations of the bubbles on the basis of Ergun equation, 3 thermodynamic equation and kinetic equations. It is found that the specific heat ratio of bubbles in 4 such syst...

This paper reports on the results of experimental investigations on the performance of a jet pump operated under selected primary flows to optimize the related parameters. For this purpose a two-phase flow jet pump was used employing various profiles of nozzles as the primary device which was designed, fabricated and used along with the combination of mixing tube and diffuser. The profiles empl...

In this tutorial the fundamentals of non-boiling heat transfer in two-phase twocomponent gas-liquid flow in pipes are presented. The techniques used for the determination of the different gas-liquid flow patterns (flow regimes) in vertical, horizontal, and inclined pipes are reviewed. The validity and limitations of the numerous heat transfer correlations that have been published in the literat...

We consider the system of equations governing an incompressible immiscible two-phase flow within an heterogeneous porous medium made of two different rock types. Since the capillary pressure function depends on the rock type, the capillary pressure field might be discontinuous at the interface between the rocks. We introduce multivalued phase pressures to give a sense to the transmission condit...
