Void Fraction Disturbances in Bubbly
نویسنده
چکیده
-The paper is concerned with the flow of dispersions of gas bubbles in liquid, with bubble sizes such that the inertia forces on the bubbles are of importance to the dynamics. One-dimensional conservation equations are derived, which govern the flow when the deviations from the uniform state are small. These are used to describe the features of the propagation of void fraction disturbances, and to investigate the stability of uniform bubbly flows. The results are compared with what has been observed in experiments.

Void fraction measurement in two-phase flow processes via symbolic dynamic filtering of ultrasonic signals
This communication introduces a non-intrusive method for void fraction measurement and identification of two-phase flow regimes, based on ultrasonic sensing. The underlying algorithm is built upon the recently reported theory of a statistical pattern recognition method called symbolic dynamic filtering (SDF). The results of experimental validation, generated on a laboratory test apparatus, show...
متن کاملComputational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Downward Bubbly Flows
Downward turbulent bubbly flows in pipes were modeled using computational fluid dynamics tools. The Hydrodynamics, phase distribution and turbulent structure of twophase air-water flow in a 57.15 mm diameter and 3.06 m length vertical pipe was modeled by using the 3-D Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase flow approach. Void fraction, liquid velocity and turbulent fluctuations profiles were calculated a...

متن کاملA Simplified Model
A simple set of equations for bubbly flow through a vertical tube is rigorously derived by means of a scale analysis from the realistic equations posed by Pauchon. It is shown that under steady flow conditions the void fraction will relax from its value at the inlet towards an asymptotic value within only a short distance of the inlet. The relationship between the inlet void fraction and the im...
متن کاملMeasurement of Reynolds Stress in Bubbly Flow Using Ultrasonic Doppler Method
Microscopic structure in bubbly flows is a topic of interest in the study of fluid flows. In the present paper, the Ultrasonic Doppler Method was applied to the measurement of bubbly flows from which Reynolds stress profiles were obtained. Experiments were carried out for an air-water dispersed bubbly flow in a 20mm x 100 mm vertical rectangular channel having a void fraction smaller than 3%. T...
