Bubble shape and breakage events in a vertical pipe at the boiler flow line

Taylor bubble rising in a vertical pipe against laminar or turbulent downward flow: symmetric to asymmetric shape transition

Modeling of a Boiler Pipe with Two-Phase Flow Instabilities

Tubes with boiling are common elements of many processes. They appear in steam generators and refrigerators and many other systems. The behavior of such systems is complicated and many physical phenomena are involved. It has for example been observed that different types of instabilities can occur. In this paper we will discuss modeling of tubes with boiling. As an application we will discuss a...

Optimizing naturally driven air flow in a vertical pipe by changing the intensity and location of the wall heat flux

Heat transfer from the internal surfaces of a vertical pipe to the adjacent air gives rise to the air flow establishment within the pipe. With the aim of optimizing the convective air flow rate in a vertical pipe, the details of the flow and thermal fields were investigated in the present study. Conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy were solved numerically using simple implicit f...

A Study of Flow and Mixing in Bubbly Gas-Liquid Pipe Flow Generated by a Grid

The spreading of a tracer in a bubbly two-phase grid-generated turbulent flow system is studied. In this work both particle image velocimetry (PIV) and planer laser-induced <span style="font-size: 10pt...

effect of mouth shape on the flow pattern and sedimentation in the vertical lateral diversion

abstract one of the most important sources of drinking and agricultural water needs is rivers. one of the oldest methods of getting water from rivers that still has the greatest use is the gravity intake. in this type of intake, due to the disproportionate velocity at the upstream and downstream mouth of intake, occur flow separation and following sedimentation at the upstream mouth. in this st...
