Vertically Downward Two-Phase Flow, (II)

Following Part (I) of the present paper, which presented the experimental results obtained on the void distribution and average void fraction shown by nearly fully-developed, vertically downward two-phase flow of air-water mixture, this Part (?) covers the flow regime transition criteria among the three basic flow regimes : bubbly, slug and annular flows. The annular flow further was divided into two subregions of falling film flow and annular drop flow. The general situation of the transition criteria is as follows : (1) bubbly-to-slug flow transition occurs when the local void fraction in the central region of the tube is 0.3; (2) slug-to-annular drop flow transition criterion is given as a case which equations giving average void fraction for the slug flow and the annular flow are simultaneously satisfied; (3) slug-to-falling film flow transition occurs when the pressure difference between the crest of large wave and the bottom overcomes the surface tension; (4) the occurrence of liquid droplets from wave crests gives the transition criterion between the falling film flow and the annular drop flow.

These criteria were correlated to predict each flow regime boundary respectively considering flow mechanisms or from experimental results. The correlations obtained were compared with published flow regime maps for atmospheric air-water flow and showed satisfactory agreement.     

Combinated Flow Pattern Map for Cocurrent and Countercurrent Air-Water Flows in Vertical Tube

Flow patterns for cocurrent and countercurrent air-water flows in vertical tubes (40 and 80mm I.D.) at volumetric flux densities of air and water in the ranges ?115–158 and ?100–102 cm/s were observed. A flow pattern map presenting the entire data of the observed flow patterns, i.e. bubbly, slug and annular flow for each mode of flow operation (upflow, countercurrent flow and downflow) were presented on the j_l vs. j_g plane. The flow pattern maps showed significant difference of flow pattern transition boundaries with upflow, countercurrent flow and downflow. Flow pattern transition curves were smoothly continuous with the change of the direction of water flow, on the other hand the change of flow direction of air showed complicated effect on flow pattern transition near zero j_g . Comparison of the present flow pattern data with the reported general flow pattern maps for upflow showed that the correlation of Taitel et al. for bubble-slug flow transition is applicable to both cocurrent and countercurrent air-water flows.     

Characteristics of Counter current Gas-Liquid Two-Phase Flow in Vertical Tubes

Investigations into the flow pattern and the void fraction for countercurrent air-water flow in vertical tubes of diameter D = 40 and 80 mm were reported. The flow maps were presented and showed slug flow regime occupied larger portion on them. The void fraction was measured by the quick-closing valve technique, in bubbly and slug flow regime.

The void fraction data available in the literatures as well as present work for counter- current flow in vertical tubes were correlated in terms of dimensionless groups. The experimental results of the present work were also compared with the drift flux model.     

摇摆状态下气液两相流流型转变的实验研究

通过可视化观察和数码照片对摇摆状态下光滑有机玻璃管内气液两相流流型进行分类和定义,并分析了不同管径、摇摆角度以及摇摆周期对流型之间转变的影响.结果表明:在液相折算流速一样的情况下,管径增加、摇摆周期缩短或摇摆角度减小会使得环状流形成需要更高的气体折算流速;弹状流向搅混流转变所需气相流量则随着管径的减小、摇摆周期的增加或摇摆角度的减小而增加.而在气相折算流速一样的条件下,管径增加、摇摆周期缩短或摇摆角度增大会使泡状流产生需要更高的液相流量.     

Study on intermittent flow behavior in a vertical channel under low-pressure condition

The intermittent flow behavior in a vertical annulus under a low-pressure condition was experimentally studied using a scaling experiment facility. The temperature and pressure variations in the channel had been obtained under the heat load ranging from 0 to 2.0 kW, initial subcooled water temperature ranging from 50 to 90 °C and length–diameter ratio ranging from 1.6 to 50. The effects of the heat load and length–diameter ratio of channel on the flow characteristics were investigated in detail. The experimental results showed that the steam bubbles erupted more frequently and regularly at a high heat load. The intermittent flow period decreased with increase of the heat load and aspect ratio. Based on the mechanism analysis, an empirical model considering the steam oscillation and the vapor–liquid interface rupture based on the experimental data was proposed. It was found that the accumulated steam basically increased linearly. The oscillation of the pressure and velocity decreased gradually with continuous steam accumulation. The Reynolds number of the liquid within the rising section was very small at the stagnation state since there was no forced circulation flow. Finally, a blockage was engendered in the pipeline with the steam accumulated.     

Mechanistic Model of Slugging Onset in Horizontal Circular Tubes

A new model of the transition mechanism from stratified gas-liquid two-phase flow into a slug pattern in horizontal circular tubes was developed. This model incorporated the contribution of liquid kinematic energy to wave growth on the interphase surface. The transition limit was numerically determined so as to allow a wave crest to reach the top wall of the horizontal tubes.

Air-water experiments were performed to obtain data for comparison with model predictions. Three test sections were used. They had different inner diameters and the largest test section had a rod bundle inside it. Predictions of liquid flow rate at the flow pattern transition boundary, with given gas flow rates, were within data scatter of the experiments. This suggested that the present model satisfactorily described effects of tube size and internal structure on slugging onset in horizontal circular tubes.     

Numerical study of the MHD flow characteristics in a three-surface-multi-layered channel with different inlet conditions

A 3D MHD flow simulation was conducted to clarify the effects of the inlet flow conditions on the results of the validation experiment carried out previously and on the design window of the first wall using a three-surface-multi-layered channel. MHD pressure drop was largely influenced by the inlet condition. The numerical model with turbulent velocity profile showed qualitatively good agreement with the experimental result. The first wall temperature and pressure distributions obtained by the 3D simulation corresponded well to those obtained by the 2D simulation assuming fully developed flow. This suggested that complicated three-dimensional inlet flow condition generated in the L-shape elbow would not affects the existing design window.     

Vertically Downward Two-Phase Flow, (I)

Fully developed vertically downward two-phase flow of air-water mixture was investigated on void distribution and average void fraction among the three basic flow regimes; bubbly, slug and annular flows. The annular flow further was divided into two regimes of falling film flow and annular drop flow. Test channel is in form of inverted U-tube and tests were carried out at 100 tube diameters downstream from the curved part. Distributions of local void fraction were measured by means of a conductance needle probe method and the average void fraction was obtained from numerical integration of the measured local void fraction According to the results, profiles of local void fraction in bubby and slug flows showed characteristic natures with a peak in the middle region between the center and the wall of tube The average void fraction in downward flow depended greatly on the flow regimes. Accordingly correlation for each flow regime was developed to predict the average void fraction, based on flow mechanisms and experiments. The correlations were compared with experimental results for atmospheric air-water flow and showed satisfactory agreement.

Effects of Wall Roughness and Entry Length on Void Profile in Vertical Bubbly Flow

An experimental study of upward air-water bubbly two-phase flow in an entry region was performed with various rough wall test tubes. The objective of the work is to clarify the effects of wall roughness and entry length on void profile. The fluid flows in the vertical circular test tube of 25 mm I.D. under nearly atmospheric pressure, at room temperature. The void profile changes from a pattern similar in appearance to the saddle shape which has local void peaks near the wall, into the power law shape whose curve is approximated by a power law formula, with increasing wall roughness and/or entry length. That is, wall roughness and entry length have a similar effect upon void profile. There are two patterns in the power law shape, a pattern with sharp center peak and a pattern with obtuse center peak. As wall roughness and/or entry length increase, the void profile changes from the former pattern to the latter pattern. At enough long entry length (L/D ? 150), every void profile has almost the same power law shape independent of wall roughness. Some void profiles are asymmetric to the axis.
