基于丝网探针的螺旋管内气液两相流气泡行为研究

核反应堆蒸汽发生器的传热面由螺旋管束组成。螺旋管的三维螺旋结构使得泡状流和塞状流等气液两相流中的气泡在重力、离心力和浮力等作用下在管道内部呈现不对称的相分布状态,两相滑移速度增大,显著影响换热性能并导致DNB型传热恶化难以预测。实验介质为空气-水,结合自主开发的电导式丝网探针技术并发展先进的数据后处理算法,实现了复杂流场的三维时空重构和离散气泡粒径的精细测量,获得了螺旋管内泡状流和塞状流的截面空泡分布规律。基于研究结果,可根据气泡分布规律对螺旋管道的几何结构进行调整以避免传热恶化,为螺旋管式蒸发器的安全设计提供了基础数据和优化思路。

水平管泡状流相分布特性

<正>气液两相泡状流的主要特征是连续液相中携带散布其中的细小气泡,气泡的存在不仅对气液两相流的传热、传质及阻力特性有很大的影响,而且对两相流动的稳定性也有很大的影响.前人有关泡状流的研究大多偏重于两相流的平均参数,对于两相流局部统计参数如局部空隙率等参数的变化规律是近年来两相流研究的新趋势.对于垂直管内的流动已经积累了相当数量的数据,而同样有广泛应用的水平管内相分布规律还知之甚少.气泡对气液两相流的传热、传质及流动结构影响机理的研究必须以了解相分布及气泡的局部统计参数为前提,同时对相分布特性的深人研究也为气液两相流的数学模型化提供实验依据.本文以空气、水为工质,研究水平管内气液两相流的相分布特性,给出了典型泡状流的时域信号图,研究了相分布随气液两相流量的规律变化,并与前人的有关结果进行了比较.     

矩形截面螺旋管内气液两相流型转换数值模拟

采用CLSVOF(coupled level set and volume of fluid method)方法,以空气和水为介质对矩形截面螺旋管内气液两相流动进行数值模拟,气相折算速度U_G为0.1～2.5 m·s^-1,液相折算速度U_L为0.09～4.5 m·s^-1.研究螺旋直径、螺旋升角对流型转换边界的影响,并绘制了不同螺旋直径、不同螺旋升角下的流型图.数值结果表明,与传统VOF方法相比,CLSVOF可以得到更精确的相界面;随着螺旋升角的增加,塞状流向泡状流的转换边界向U_L减小的方向进行,但是幅度很小,塞状流向弹状流的转换边界向U_L减小的方向进行;随着螺旋直径的增加,塞状流向泡状流的转换边界向U_L减小的方向进行,塞状流向弹状流的转换边界向U_L减小、U_G增大的方向进行;与Murai流型图相比,流型转换边界有所差异.     

扰流型喷枪顶吹管内特殊两相流流型实验

主要对自主设计的渐缩管、渐扩渐缩管、螺旋管和四孔管进行水-空气两相流混合顶吹实验,并得出了扰流型喷管的管内流型变化规律。实验通过对可视化特殊喷管内的气液两相进行高速拍摄,并调节水与空气两相各自的体积流量,获取不同喷管中出现的特殊流型照片及视频。实验结果表明：在表观气速和表观液速变化时,除渐缩管外,其他特殊喷管的流型转变均有一定规律性;渐扩渐缩管内截面半径变化较大,易产生环状-搅拌流,并有典型泡状流出现,螺旋管由于轴向环流速度的影响,会产生大密度泡状流并逐渐过渡到有旋流趋势的环状流型,特殊结构的四孔管中流型较稳定,短暂出现泡状流、弹状流后形成稳定环状流。四孔管的设计最利于冶金熔炉中柴油-氮气混合两相流喷吹,形成的气泡群中单个气泡直径较小,柴油被充分细化打散,渣层中的还原反应更充分,能有效提高柴油对渣层中磁性铁的还原率。     

管道泡状流相分布模式和分布机理研究进展

对管道泡状流的相分布模式和分布机理进行了详细的回顾和介绍。从前人研究的结果发现,相分布与流动条件有关,对于小管径泡状上升流,相分布主要表现为壁面峰值分布、中间峰值分布、中心峰值分布、过渡分布和扁平分布模式;而对于小管径泡状下降流,相分布主要表现为偏离中心峰值分布、钟形分布和中心峰值分布模式。然而对于大管径泡状流,相分布与流向无关,主要表现为壁面峰值分布和中心峰值分布两种模式。除此之外,还存在双峰分布模式和双鞍分布模式。影响相分布的主要因素有气泡尺寸、管道尺寸、气液相速度、气泡的注入位置和注入方法、重力水平,而气泡尺寸为关键因素。调查发现,到目前为止仍未形成一个可以解释所有相分布模式的通用机理。部分物理现象仅通过分析升力、湍流扩散力、壁面斥力以及其他力的平衡给予定性分析。未来应进一步研究相间作用力模型、湍流相干结构对气泡输运机理等问题。

对称分支并行微通道中气液两相流的均匀性规律

采用高速摄像系统研究了对称分支形并行微通道内气液两相流及弹状气泡均匀性规律。实验中分别采用含0.3% SDS的甘油-水溶液与氮气作为液相和气相。观察到弹状流和泡状流两种流型,作出了由两相操作条件构成的流型图及流型转变线。结果表明,气泡非均匀性主要由两微通道内流体之间的相互作用、下游通道中流体动力学的反馈作用以及通道制造误差造成。随液相黏度增大,气泡均匀性变好;在高液相流量以及低气相压力下操作,气泡尺寸分布更易达到均匀。基于压力降守恒原理和微通道内气液两相流阻力模型,构建了两通道中气泡尺寸的预测模型。

矩形截面螺旋通道内气液两相流局部含气率分布实验研究

应用电导探针测量技术,对矩形截面螺旋通道内气液两相流局部含气率进行实验研究。在不同的气相折算速度下,应用电导探针测量了弹状流弹单元的长度,并与可视化方法进行对比,验证了电导探针的可靠性,并为信号处理选择合适的阈值。分别在泡状流、弹状流及环状流三种流型的条件下,分析了气相与液相折算速度对局部含气率分布的影响。实验结果发现,螺旋通道气液两相局部含气率呈非对称的抛物线形分布,这种非对称性受流型和液相折算速度的影响。     

鼓泡塔内气液两相湍流实验研究

介绍了研究鼓泡塔气液两相流的实验装置、实验方法。液相用激光多普勒测速技术(LDV)测量,气相用粒子示踪测速技术(PIV)测量。实验表明,轴向液相速度的径向分布呈塔中心峰值、壁面附近倒流形式,且与气相表观速度大小有关,当液相表观速度一定时,随气相表观速度增大而愈加陡峭,返混也剧烈。当表观液速与表观气速之比小于19．6时,返混区总是存在,且返混区大小与高度有关：当表观液遣与表观气速之比大于19．6时,返混消失,含气率分布由塔中心峰值转向壁面峰值。径向液相速度既与气相表现速度有关又与位置高度有关,在塔底部呈现负值,这意味着向塔轴心方向流动。随着塔高增加。流动方向逐渐转变为向塔壁方向,且又有明显的峰值。     

Destabilisation of homogeneous bubbly flow in an annular gap bubble column

Experimental results are presented to show that there are very significant differences in the mean gas void fractions measured in an open tube and a annular gap bubble column, when operated at the same gas superficial velocity, using a porous sparger. Measurements were carried out in a vertical 0.102 m internal diameter column, with a range of concentric inner tubes to form an annular gap, giving diameter ratios from 0.25 to 0.69; gas superficial velocities in the range 0.014–0.200 m/s were investigated. The mean gas void fraction decreases with increasing ratio of the inner to outer diameter of the annular gap column and the transition to heterogeneous flow occurs at lower gas superficial velocities and lower void fractions. Two reasons are proposed and validated by experimental investigations: (1) the presence of the inner tube causes large bubbles to form near the sparger, which destabilise the homogeneous bubbly flow and reduce the mean void fraction; this was confirmed by deliberately injecting large bubbles into a homogeneous dispersion of smaller bubbles, and (2) the shape of the void fraction profiles changes with gap geometry and this affects the distribution parameter in the drift‐flux model. Both of these effects serve to reduce the mean gas void fraction in an annular gap bubble column compared to an open tube at the same gas superficial velocity.     

Bubble mechanisms and characteristics at pore scale in a packed-bed reactor

An image processing technique was used to study dominant bubble mechanisms in a two-dimensional packed-bed at pore level under the bubbly flow regime. Bubble breakup and coalescence were identified as dominant mechanisms using a large number of image samples. Two types of coalescence mechanisms were identified that occur due to compression and deceleration associated with the bubbles and three breakup mechanisms were identified that are result of liquid shear force, bubble acceleration, and bubble impact. Data on various two-phase parameters, such as local void fraction, bubble velocity, size, number, and shape were obtained from the images. Results indicated that when a flow regime changed from bubbly to either trickling or pulsing flow, the number of average sized bubbles significantly decreased and the shape of the majority of the bubbles was no longer spherical. Although a mean bubble velocity of all sized bubbles was uniform for given gas and liquid superficial velocities, individual bubble velocities were quite different depending on the bubble location in the pore. The present bubble size distributions were compared with previous studies and the results on bubble size are in general agreement.     

Gas holdup,bubble size distribution,and mass transfer in an airlift reactor with ceramic membrane and perforated plate distributor

The airlift reactor is one of the most commonly used gas–liquid two-phase reactors in chemical and biological processes. The objective of this study is to generate different-sized bubbles in an internal loop airlift reactor and characterize the behaviours of the bubbly flows. The bubble size, gas holdup, liquid circulation velocity, and the volumetric mass transfer coefficient of gas–liquid two-phase co-current flow in an internal loop airlift reactor equipped with a ceramic membrane module (CMM) and a perforated-plate distributor (PPD) are measured. Experimental results show that CMM can generate small bubbles with Sauter mean diameter d₃₂ less than 2.5 mm. As the liquid inlet velocity increases, the bubble size decreases and the gas holdup increases. In contrast, PPD can generate large bubbles with 4 mm < d₃₂ < 10 mm. The bubble size and liquid circulation velocity increase as the superficial gas velocity increases. Multiscale bubbles with 0.5 mm < d₃₂ < 10 mm can be generated by the CMM and PPD together. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient k_La of the multiscale bubbles is 0.033–0.062 s⁻¹, while that of small bubbles is 0.011–0.057 s⁻¹. Under the same flow rate of oxygen, the k_La of the multiscale bubbles increases by up to 160% in comparison to that of the small bubbles. Finally, empirical correlations for k_La are obtained.     

竖直上升气液泡状流数学模型封闭的研究

竖直上升管气液两相流广泛应用于相变传热、核反应堆等工业过程。本文以竖直上升气液两相流为研究对象,运用欧拉双流体模型,针对表观液速为0.45m/s、表观气速分别为0.015m/s和0.1m/s的泡状流数值模拟过程中的升力、壁面润滑力、湍流扩散力、气泡诱导湍流（BIT）等封闭模型,开展数值模拟比较研究。模拟发现：①低气速泡状流中,升力和壁面润滑力的同时加入能够改善壁面附近的气含率,气泡在这两个力作用下在径向上达到一个相对平衡,得到与实验气含率类似的壁面峰,模拟的液相速度较合理;低气速时,BIT的影响可以忽略。②高气速泡状流中,BIT对气-液两相流的模拟结果影响比较明显,湍动耗散源项的加入能使液速分布的模拟结果得到改善,Troshko模型相对Sato模型更能反映气泡诱导湍流对液相湍流的作用。③高气速时升力的引入使气含率产生壁面峰,加入湍流扩散力能使峰值略微降低,但仍没有解决高气速时引入升力出现的气含率壁面峰问题,说明在径向上湍流扩散力还不足以抵抗升力。     

Experimental investigation on multiscale hydrodynamics in a novel gas–Liquid–Solid three phase jet-Loop reactor

Multiphase flow hydrodynamics in a novel gas–liquid–solid jet-loop reactor (JLR) were experimentally investigated at the macroscales and mesoscales. The chord length distribution was measured by an optical fiber probe and transformed for bubble size distribution through the maximum entropy method. The impacts of key operating conditions (superficial gas and liquid velocity, solid loading) on hydrodynamics at different axial and radial locations were comprehensively investigated. JLR was found to have good solid suspension ability owing to the internal circulation of bubbles and liquid flow. The gas holdup, axial liquid velocity, and bubble velocity increase with gas velocity, while liquid velocity has little influence on them. Compared with the gas–liquid JLRs, solids decrease the gas holdup and liquid circulation, reduces the bubble velocity and delays the flow development due to the enhanced interaction between bubbles and particles (Stokes number >1). This work also provides a benchmark data for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model validation. © 2019 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 65: e16537, 2019     

Use of models for lift, wall and turbulent dispersion forces acting on bubbles for poly-disperse flows

Closure laws are needed for the qualification of CFD codes for two-phase flows. In case of bubbly and slug flow, forces acting on the bubbles usually model the momentum transfer between the phases. Several models for such forces can be found in Literature. They show, that these forces depend on the liquid flow field as well as on the size and the shape of the bubbles. A validation of consistent sets of bubble force models for poly-disperse flows is given, basing on a detailed experimental database for vertical pipe flows, which contains data on the radial distribution of bubbles of different size as well as local bubble size distributions. A one-dimensional (1D) solver provides velocity profiles and bubble distributions in radial direction. It considers a large number of bubble size classes and is used for the comparison with the experiments. The simplified model was checked against the results of full 3D simulations done by the commercial code CFX-5.7 for simplified monodisperse cases. The effects of the number of bubbles classes as well as the effect of the lateral extension of the bubbles were analyzed. For the validation of bubble force models measured bubble size distributions were taken as an input for the calculation. On basis of the assumption of an equilibrium of the lateral bubble forces, radial volume fraction profiles were calculated separately for each bubble class. In the result of the validation of different models for the bubble forces, a set of Tomiyama lift and wall force, deformation force and Favre averaged turbulent dispersion force was found to provide the best agreement with the experimental data. Some discrepancies remain at high liquid superficial velocities.
