Abstract

The article considers an experimental and numerical study of multiphase flows in a Hele-Shaw cell. The horizontal Hele-Shaw cell makes it possible to simulate flows in porous media in microgravity. The results of numerical simulation of a three-phase flow are presented. The cases when the boundaries between the phases are stable and the cases when the Saffman-Taylor instability develops at the boundary are considered. The results of the numerical simulation are compared with the conducted experiments. The paper also examines the pressure distribution in the Hele-Shaw cell during a three-phase flow.

微重力条件下多孔介质中多相流动的模拟

本文对Hele-Shaw槽内多相流进行了实验和数值研究。水平Hele-Shaw单元使模拟微重力条件下多孔介质中的流动成为可能。给出了三相流的数值模拟结果。考虑了两相边界稳定和边界处出现Saffman-Taylor不稳定的情况。数值模拟结果与实验结果进行了比较。本文还研究了三相流动时Hele-Shaw槽内的压力分布。

期刊介绍： Microgravity Science and Technology – An International Journal for Microgravity and Space Exploration Related Research is a is a peer-reviewed scientific journal concerned with all topics, experimental as well as theoretical, related to research carried out under conditions of altered gravity. Microgravity Science and Technology publishes papers dealing with studies performed on and prepared for platforms that provide real microgravity conditions (such as drop towers, parabolic flights, sounding rockets, reentry capsules and orbiting platforms), and on ground-based facilities aiming to simulate microgravity conditions on earth (such as levitrons, clinostats, random positioning machines, bed rest facilities, and micro-scale or neutral buoyancy facilities) or providing artificial gravity conditions (such as centrifuges). Data from preparatory tests, hardware and instrumentation developments, lessons learnt as well as theoretical gravity-related considerations are welcome. Included science disciplines with gravity-related topics are: − materials science − fluid mechanics − process engineering − physics − chemistry − heat and mass transfer − gravitational biology − radiation biology − exobiology and astrobiology − human physiology
