By using electrode arrays to scan flowing fluids, electromagnetic tomography can identify the flow patterns of mixed fluid from the different electrical properties of gas and water. The responses for different gas-water interface locations were calculated and then physical measurements were undertaken. We compared the results of the numerical simulation with the experimental data, and found that the response characteristics were consistent in the circumstances of uniform physical fields and stratified flows. By analyzing the signal characteristics, it is found that, with the change of the interface location, the response curves showed ＂steps＂ whose position and width were decided by the location of fluid interface. The measurement accuracy of this method depended on the vertical distance between adjacent electrodes. The results showed that computer simulation can simulate the measurement of the electromagnetic tomography accurately, so the physical experiment can be replaced.展开更多

A new formula , relating to the interfacial friction factor with the void fraction and superficial gas Reynold number, was developed to predict the interface shear stress .

However, the existing methods for calculating the wetted angle of the flat interface model and the central angle of the two-circle model rely on solving implicit transcendental equations, which require iterative numerical root-finding methods,thereby introducing computational complexity and inefficiency. This paper proposes the high-precision explicit approximate solutions for the two models, directly correlating the geometric parameters with the flow parameters, thus significantly enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of two-phase flow analysis.展开更多

Technology of low emission stirred swirl （TeLESS）, which is characterized with stratified swirl flow, has been developed in Beihang University to reduce NOx emission. However, large-scale flow structure would be induced in strong swirl flow. Experiments and computational fluid dynamics （CFD） simulation were carried out to investigate the unsteady flow feature and its mechanism in TeLESS combustor. Hotwire was firstly applied to testing the unsteady flow feature and a distinct mode with 2244 Hz oscillation frequency occurred at the pilot swirl outlet. The flow mode amplitude decayed convectively. Large eddy simulation （LES） was then applied to predicting this flow mode and know about its mechanism. The deviation of mode prediction compared with hotwire test was 0.8%. The spiral isobaric structure in pilot flow passage indicates that precessing vortex core （PVC） existed. The velocity spectrum and phase lag analysis suggest that the periodic movement at the pilot outlet was dominated by precessing movement. Negative tangen- tial momentum gradient reflects that the swirl flow was unstable. Another phenomenon was found out that the PVC movement was intermittently rotated alon~ the symmetric axis.展开更多

In thismodel, the pressure is evaluated using the local momentum balance rather than the hydrostatic approximation. The criterion predicts well the stability limit of stratified flow in horizontal and nearly horizontal pipes. The experimental and theoretical investigation on the effect of pipe inclination on the interfacial instability are carded out. It is found that the critical liquid height at the onset of interfacial wave instability is insensitive to the pipe inclination. However, the pipe inclination significantly affects critical superficial liquid velocity and wave velocity especially lor low gas velocities.展开更多

A self-adaptive grid was adopted in the vertical coordinate, the Alternative Direction Implicit （ADI） scheme was used for the time marching equations while the Poisson equation for stream-function was solved based on the Successive Over Relaxation （SOR） iteration with the Chebyshev acceleration. The numerical techniques were described and three applications of the model were presented.展开更多

The motion of yellow sand particles has been simulated in a Lagrangian frame of reference by solving the time-dependent Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations. An implicit time integration in a fitted body grid arrangement was used to simulate the stratified flow over an isolated ideally bell-shaped mountain. The transport and deposition of particles of various sizes, and of the altitudes where particles were released have been analyzed. Particular attention was given to transport patterns of different sized particles in various atmospheric conditions. The results show that the particle size and the release altitude are both important factors in determining the trajectories of the particles. Small particles tend to be transported a long distance over the mountains, whereas heavier particles settle down around the release source. Due to the existence of an internal gravity wave, the particle release altitude affects the trajectory of the particles. The analysis and results provide a very useful tool for the study of atmospheric flow and transport of pollutants over real topographies.展开更多

An experimental work was performed in horizontal oil-water two-phase flow simulation well using combination production logging tool including mini-capacitance sensor and mini-spinner. The combination tool provides a recording of holdup and velocity profiles at five different heights of the borehole cross-section. The effect of total flow rate and water-cut on the response of spinner and capacitive sensor at five measured positions were investigated. The capacitance water holdup interpolation imaging algorithm was used to determine the local fluid property and oil-water interface height, and the measured local fluid speed was combined with the numerical simulation result to establish an optimal calculation model for obtaining the partial phase flow rate of the oil-water two-phase stratified flow in the horizontal well. The calculated flow rates of five measured points are basically consistent with the experimental data, the total flow rate and water holdup from calculation are in agreement with the set values in the experiment too, suggesting that the method has high accuracy.展开更多

These equations include the terms of viscosity, density stratification, and diffusion. Neutral stability curve and the critical Re numbers are computed for various Richardson （Ri） numbers and Schmidt （Sc） numbers. The results show that the larger the Ri, the larger the critical Re for Sc 〈 10. The flow is stable for Ri 〈 0, when Sc is very small or the mass diffusion coefficient is very large. But for Ri 〉 0, the effects of diffusion are reversed for Sc 〈 10. For Sc 〉 10, the critical Re rapidly decreases to zero as the Sc increases for a given Ri number. The critical Re rapidly decreases as the Ri increases.展开更多

The two-dimensional model equations, based on the time-dependent Reynolds averaged Navier- Stokes equations, are solved numerically using an implicit time integration in a fitted body grid arrangement to simulate stratified flow over an isolated ideally bell-shaped mountain. The simulation results are in good agreement with the existing corresponding analytical and approximate solutions. It is shown that for atmospheric conditions where non-hydrostatic effects become dominant, the model is able to reproduce typical flow features. The dispersion characteristics of gaseous pollutants in the stratified flow have also been studied. The dispersion patterns for two typical atmospheric conditions are compared. The results show that the presence of a gravity wave causes vertical stratification of the pollutant concentration and affects the diffusive characteristics of the pollutants.展开更多

The capacitance water holdup interpolation imaging algorithm was used to determine the local fluid property and oil-water interface height, and the measured local fluid speed was combined with the numerical simulation result to establish an optimal calculation model for obtaining the partial phase flow rate of the oil-water two-phase stratified flow in the horizontal well. The calculated flow rates of five measured points are basically consistent with the experimental data, the total flow rate and water holdup from calculation are in agreement with the set values in the experiment too, suggesting that the method has high accuracy.

文摘The stability of the laminar flat plate boundary layer is investigated numerically by solving the linear Orr-Sommerfeld equations for the disturbulence amplitude function. These equations include the terms of viscosity, density stratification, and diffusion. Neutral stability curve and the critical Re numbers are computed for various Richardson （Ri） numbers and Schmidt （Sc） numbers. The results show that the larger the Ri, the larger the critical Re for Sc 〈 10. The flow is stable for Ri 〈 0, when Sc is very small or the mass diffusion coefficient is very large. But for Ri 〉 0, the effects of diffusion are reversed for Sc 〈 10. For Sc 〉 10, the critical Re rapidly decreases to zero as the Sc increases for a given Ri number. The critical Re rapidly decreases as the Ri increases.

文摘The characteristics of stratified flow over an isolated mountain ridge have been investigated numerically. The two-dimensional model equations, based on the time-dependent Reynolds averaged Navier- Stokes equations, are solved numerically using an implicit time integration in a fitted body grid arrangement to simulate stratified flow over an isolated ideally bell-shaped mountain. The simulation results are in good agreement with the existing corresponding analytical and approximate solutions. It is shown that for atmospheric conditions where non-hydrostatic effects become dominant, the model is able to reproduce typical flow features. The dispersion characteristics of gaseous pollutants in the stratified flow have also been studied. The dispersion patterns for two typical atmospheric conditions are compared. The results show that the presence of a gravity wave causes vertical stratification of the pollutant concentration and affects the diffusive characteristics of the pollutants.
文摘The two fluid model of stratified turbulent two phase flow in aquatic environment is developed in this paper. The motion of each phase is described by a unified multi fluid model in an Eulerian coordinate system. The laws of turbulent transportation for each phase, and the restriction of each other between the two phases are completely simulated. The complex two phase turbulence with strong buoyancy effects is selected to examine numerically. The extensive experimental data obtained in stratified flow are used here. Comparison of the results of numerical simulation with the experimental data is conducted. It has shown that the results of numerical simulation are satisfactory.

文摘All the possible equivalent barotropic (EB) laminar solutions are firstly explored,and all the possible non-EB elliptic circulations and hyperbolic laminar modes of rotating stratified fluids are discovered in this paper.The EB circulations (including the vortex streets and hurricane like vortices) possess rich structures,because either the arbitrary solutions of arbitrary nonlinear Poisson equations can be used or an arbitrary two-dimensional stream function is revealed which may be broadly applied in atmospheric and oceanic dynamics,plasma physics,astrophysics and so on.The discovery of the non-EB modes disproves a known conjecture.
