A novel concept for extracting multivariate spray data efficiently from detailed simulations of the atomizing process into high fidelity Euler–Lagrangian simulations of spray combustion is presented in this paper. Therefore, simulations of a prefilming airblast atomizer using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method are considered. The multivariate dependence structure in the spray is identified using rank transformation. Two models of different nature are proposed which are able to reproduce the multivariate dependence structure. The first model follows a data-driven approach using vine copulas and marginal distributions. In contrast, the second model is based on human knowledge and assumptions enabling deeper insights into the atomization process.

To this end, N = 412 adults (average age 31.91, SD = 11.70, including 108 men and 304 women) were recruited to explore their daily smartphone usage, level of smartphone addiction (SAS-SV) and impulsivity profile across the five impulsivity personality traits (UPPS-P). Cluster analysis revealed the existence of three different profiles: one without PSU; one showing an excessive impulsively but almost no addictive smartphone use, expressing only a loss of control symptomatology; and one showing excessive impulsively but also addictive smartphone patterns, driven mainly by the impulsivity personality traits of negative urgency, positive urgency and lack of premeditation.

In this work, we are interested in investigating the onset of dislodgment of such an emerging droplet. A one-dimensional model is developed that describes the dynamics of this process under quasistatic assumptions. Fluid inertia, the dynamic nature of the contact angle, as well as the entrance and exit hydrodynamic effects are ignored. Fluid inertia may be important at the very early stage of the displacement process, after which its effect diminishes. It is hypothesized that the emerging droplet will dislodge the surface when the two contact lines associated with the two interfaces meet. The forces acting on this system include external pressures, viscous and capillary forces. The flow rate is influenced by the capillary pressure of the emerging nonwetting fluid when the advancing interface reaches the exit of the tube and starts to develop, then by the two interfaces when the wetting fluid starts to displace the wetting one. At the onset of dislodgment, the capillary pressure across the two interfaces equalizes. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study has been conducted to confirm the stated hypothesis and to provide a framework for the validation and verification of the developed model. The CFD model depicts the whole spectrum of processes involved from the start of injection of the nonwetting fluid towards the ejection of the droplet. The model, however, only considers the system when the wetting fluid starts to emerge from the exit of the tube into the reservoir. Comparisons between the model and the CFD analysis show a good match, which builds confidence in the modeling approach. Interesting results are obtained, particularly when the interfaces reach the exit of the tube.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":339,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Multiphase Flow","volume":"181 ","pages":"Article 105010"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142424810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This tactic diminishes the dimensionality of the system of linear equations, thereby hastening the computational process. To pinpoint the regions warranting focused attention, a judicious criterion is indispensable to strike an optimal balance between efficiency and precision. This criterion affords a marked decrement in computational expenditure while preserving the fidelity of the original methodology. Rigorous validations corroborate that this acceleration mechanism can enhance computational efficiency by a minimum of 49.5% in resolving the phase field equation and by at least 70.2% in the computation of pragmatic two-phase flows, without compromising accuracy.

During gas production slowdowns or shutdowns, an accumulation of liquid in the lower sections of subsea pipelines may occur. This phenomenon is observed in jumpers that connect different units in deep-water subsea gas production facilities. The displacement of the accumulated liquid during production ramp-up induces temporal variations in pressure drop across the jumper and forces on its elbows, resulting in flow-induced vibrations (FIV) that pose potential risks to the structural integrity of the jumper. To bridge the gap between laboratory experiments and field conditions, transient 3D numerical simulations were conducted using the OpenFOAM software. These simulations facilitated the development of a mechanistic model to elucidate the factors contributing to increased pressure and forces during the liquid purging process. The study examined the influence of gas pressure level, pipe diameter, initially accumulated liquid amount, liquid properties, and gas mass flow rate on the transient pressure drop and the forces acting on the jumper's elbows. The critical gas production rate required for complete liquid removal of the accumulated liquid was determined, and scaling rules were proposed to predict the effects of gas pressure and pipe diameter on this critical value.
