Dynamic Droplet Sizes for Drift Fluxes
نویسنده
چکیده
OVERVIEW There are many two-fluid mixtures of practical interest. For example, mixtures of air and water or oil and water occur frequently in environmental and industrial processes. The existing modeling capability in FLOW-3D for mixtures of two fluids is the DRIFT routine that computes the relative motion of the two components arising from buoyancy and viscous forces. This model works quite well for many situations because of its simplicity and robustness.

Dynamic Behavior of an Oil Droplet Adhered to the Wall Surface in a Channel Flow by the Lattice Boltzmann Method
The Lattice Boltzmann Method is used to simulate the dynamics of droplet deformation in a channel flow under various conditions. The droplet behavior has been investigated under transient conditions. For cases where the droplet remains attached to the surface, the shape deformation of the droplet during crawling is captured. It has been shown that there is a limiting value for the droplet volum...
متن کاملEnhacement Mechanism in Convective Heat Tarnsfer by an Effective Utilization of Droplet Inertia
Flow characteristics and heat transfer of a water droplets laden flow behind a backward-facing step have been experimentally and numerically investigated for the condition of isothermally heated dry wall. Two sizes of step heights were employed corresponding to ReH = 5.3x103, 1.1x104. Water droplets of about 60 μm in mean diameter and small fine mist of less than 1 mm as a tracer of air flow we...
متن کاملNumerical investigation of upward air-water annular, slug and bubbly flow regimes
In this paper, numerical investigation of upward two phase flow of air-water has been studied. Different conditions of flow regimes including annular, wispy annular, slug, churn and bubbly are simulated based on Hewitt and Roberts map, and a good agreement between the experimental data of the map and the numerical simulation has been observed. Accordingly, a proper CFD model in CFD software of ...

In this contribution the electrochemistry of [Fe(CN)6](4-/3-) as the probe molecule was investigated in benzyl-n-hexadecyldimethylammonium chloride (BHDC) reverse micelles (RMs) varying the composition of the external solvent (benzene:n-heptane mixtures) and the surfactant concentration, at a fixed water content and probe concentration. The electrochemical and dynamic light scattering results s...
متن کاملDynamic and Deformation of a liquid Droplet in a Convective Two-Dimensional Laminar Flow
The objective of this research is to develop an accurate numerical method to be used in showing the deformation of a liquid fuel droplet in a convective field. To simultaneously solve the internal liquid droplet flow field as well as the external gas phase flow field, a nonstaggered rectangular grid system without any coordinate transformation is used. Transition from the gas field to the liqui...
