Stability analysis of stratified two-phase liquid-gas flow in a horizontal pipe
Authors
Abstract:
This study aimed at linear stability analysis of the stratified two-phase liquid-gas flow in a horizontal pipe. First, equations governing the linear stability of flow in each phase and boundary conditions were obtained. The governing equations were eigenvalue Orr Sommerfeld equations which are difficult and stiff problems to solve. After obtaining the velocity profiles of the gas and liquid phases in the pipe, the instability equations for each phase with related boundary conditions were coupled and simultaneously solved by using the Chebyshev Tau - QZ polynomial method. The instability spectra for some points has been plotted and some curves about instability conditions the same as neutral stability curve which shown stable and unstable region respect to Reynolds number had been drown. According to the neutral stability curve for each phase, the liquid phase is more exposed to instability than the gas phase. The liquid phase was unstable in low Reynolds numbers and a large amplitude of the wave velocity α but gas was unstable in higher Reynolds number and small amplitude of α.

full textA method for bubble volume measurement under constant flow conditions in gas–liquid two-phase flow
Measuring the volume of a bubble, especially at its detachment, is a basic subject in gas-liquid two-phase flow research. A new indirect method for this measurement under constant flow conditions is presented. An electronic device is designed and constructed based on laser beam intensity. This device calculates the frequency of the bubble formation by measuring the total time of the formation p...

full textAnalysis of the nonlinear axial vibrations of a cantilevered pipe conveying pulsating two-phase flow
The parametric resonance of the axial vibrations of a cantilever pipe conveying harmonically perturbed two-phase flow is investigated using the method of multiple scale perturbation. The nonlinear coupled and uncoupled planar dynamics of the pipe are examined for a scenario when the axial vibration is parametrically excited by the pulsating frequencies of the two phases conveyed by the pipe. Aw...
