Scaling of pressure drop for oscillatory flow through a slot
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reduced-order modeling and design of zero-net mass-flux actuators require an understanding of several fundamental flow mechanisms governing the performance of these devices. One such aspect is the pressure drop due to oscillatory flow through a slot. In this Brief Communication, we use numerical simulations and experiments to examine physics-based scaling laws for the various mechanisms that determine the net pressure drop, and critically evaluate a proposed phenomenological model for predicting the nonlinear component of the pressure drop in oscillatory slot flows. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.

Two Phase Flow Pressure Drop Calculation Using Homogeneous Equilibrium Model
Although two-phase flow is frequently encountered in various location of the process plants, there is no a general accepted and verified two-phase flow model that may be used to size lines for such conditions. An obvious example is condensate water return lines. The API method that used in this study is based on the homogeneous equilibrium flow assumption, that is, equal velocity and equal temp...
متن کاملThe effect of micro/nano-particles on pressure drop in Oil pipeline: Simulation
A high pressure drop happens when heavy oil with high viscosity moves through the oil pipeline. A variety of methods to avoid this pressure drop is available. One of which is injection of chemicals to reduce the viscosity and ultimately reduce pressure drop. Using the pipesim software, the effect of dispersion of nano and micro-particles into the oil has been simulated to study the amount of th...

متن کاملScaling of Vorticity Flux and Entrance Length Effects in Zero-Net Mass-Flux Devices
Two-dimensional numerical simulations are used to examine the vorticity flux and slot entrance effects in zero-net mass-flux devices. The simulations allow us to extract a simple scaling law for the vorticity flux which provides insight into the relative importance of the various operational parameters. In addition to this, a semi-analytical model is proposed in order to determine the pressure ...
متن کاملFlow Pattern Identification and Pressure Drop Calculation for Gas-Liquid Flow in a Horizontal Pipeline
Two phase gas-liquid flow pattern in a horizontal pipeline is predicted very accurately using a newly-developed analytical relation. The pattern identification is based on one of the most widely used graphs, the Baker diagram, modified in a way that compensates for the unrealistic oversimplifications of recent works. The Kern's method of pressure drop calculation is used to obtain the frict...
