Modeling and Simulation of Liquid- Gas Free Surface Flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model for the simulation of complex three-dimensional free surface flows is presented. An incompressible liquid interacts with a compressible gas. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved only in the liquid domain while the dynamical effects in the gas are neglected. The compressibility effects of the gas are taken into account by computing its pressure. Surface tension effects are added on the interface. A volume-of-fluid method is used to track the liquid domain. A time splitting scheme together with a two-grids method allows to decouple the computation of the gas pressure and surface tension effects from the resolution of advection and diffusion equations in the liquid domain. Numerical results are presented in order to validate the model.

Modeling and Simulation of CO2 Absorption Enhancement in Hollow-Fiber Membrane Contactors using CNT–Water-Based Nanofluids
Absorption of CO2 from a gas mixture containing CO2 and nitrogen by water-based CNT nanofluids in gas–liquid hollow fiber membrane contactor was modeled and solved using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4. The model assumed partial wetting of the membrane, along with diffusion in the axial and radial directions. In addition, Brownian motion and grazing effects were both considered in the model. The main c...

Gas-lift pumps are devices for lifting liquid phase incorporating the gas phase to be injected in the bottom of liquid column. They are widely used in various industrial applications such as oil extracting in petroleum industries. Gas-liquid flow being the main part of the flow through these systems, flowing in vertical pipes of gas-lift pumps has different regimes namely bubbly, slug, chur...
متن کاملSimulation of liquid-gas-solid flows with the Lattice Boltzmann Method
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) emerged from the field of computational fluid dynamics as an alternative to Navier-Stokes based approaches. It has since been proven to be applicable also for the simulation of free surface flows (liquid-gas flow) and particulate flows (liquid-solid flow). In the past both algorithmss for free surface flows and particulate flows have been realized that preserv...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Free Surface Flows and Comparison of Symmetry and Real Boundary Conditions at the Free Surface
For implementation of the free surface boundary condition, a new subroutine has been introduced to an existing steady 3-D body fitted code. This code was previously written for steady flow simulation in closed ducts. The algorithm used in this subroutine reduces the instability problem according to the free surface wave generation. For code validation, it was applied to two different open cha...
