In this study, we explore the dynamics of large and heavy spherical particles forming a complex sediment bed which is exposed to a laminar shear flow. For that purpose, we rely on fine-scale simulations based on a fully-resolved flow field around individual particles whose motion is explicitly tracked. Using statistical tools, we characterize several features: (a) the overall bed dynamics (e.g. the average particle velocity as a function of the elevation), (b) the evolution of the top surface of the sediment bed (e.g. distribution of the surface elevation or of the surface slope) and (c) the dynamics of individual particles as they detach from or re-attach to the sediment bed (including the frequency of these events, and the velocity difference/surface angle for each event). These results show that particles detach more frequently around the peaks in the top surface of the sediment bed and that, once detached, they undergo short hops as particles quickly sediment towards the sediment bed. A simple model based on the surface characteristics (including its slope and elevation) is proposed to reproduce the detachment ratio.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":339,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Multiphase Flow","volume":"184 ","pages":"Article 105115"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143137940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, ammonia has a high saturation pressure which leads to the transition from non-flashing to flash boiling atomization mechanisms and introduces challenges in modeling the liquid ammonia spray. It is essential to study the spray behavior and propose a unified spray model with high accuracy and implementation efficiency under wide operation conditions. In this study, a numerical model is developed under the Lagrangian-Eulerian framework to consider various breakup mechanisms. This model is then adopted for the spray simulations of liquid ammonia and validated against measurements. Firstly, the spray patterns are classified as normal evaporation (Rp ≥ 1.0), external flash boiling (1.0 &lt; Rp ≤ 0.3), transitional and fully flash boiling (Rp &lt; 0.3) through atomization mechanism analysis. Aiming at various spray patterns, a numerical model is developed involving the in-nozzle flow effect, external thermal breakup, and secondary aerodynamic breakup. The model comparison and validation results under different conditions show the proper prediction ability of the present model with accurate spray penetration and morphology. Compared with the typical aerodynamic breakup model, the spray expansion through the radial velocity increment of child droplets is well reproduced in the present model by considering the external thermal breakup. In addition, the improved boundary conditions that account for the in-nozzle flow effects enable a better prediction under the transitional and fully flash boiling region. Then the spray characteristics analysis of liquid ammonia under various conditions is conducted. It is found that the flash boiling plays an important role in primary atomization and generates smaller droplets. The initial spray expansion due to in-nozzle flow, later low air resistance, and continuous acceleration of small droplets leads to relatively slow and then fast penetration of flash boiling spray. Furthermore, a more complete spray mixing and evaporation process in both axial and radial directions is observed under the Rp0.1 condition. Nevertheless, the cooling effects resulted from the high latent heat of ammonia and subsequent wetting problem for combustion chamber wall should also be considered in practical applications. This study fills the gaps between measurements and predictions of the liquid ammonia spray under the transition from non-flashing to flash boiling conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":339,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Multiphase Flow","volume":"184 ","pages":"Article 105116"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143138003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By changing the incoming velocity and the hydrofoil size, six cases are divided into three different flow conditions: velocity scale, size scale and Reynolds number similarity.

Some crucial flow characteristics, e.g. vortex structures, vortex intensity, vortex trajectory and wandering, velocity distribution, fluctuation features, and TLVC evolution, are studied in detail and the scale effects of them are significant. With the increasing incoming velocity or scale ratio, more pronounced vortex fusion occurs and makes the TLV maintain a higher intensity downstream. The greater the incoming velocity or scale ratio, the more the TLV is pulled away from the hydrofoil and the weaker the amplitude of TLV wandering. Moreover, the transition of axial flow profile from jet-like to wake-like is delayed by increasing the incoming velocity/scale ratio. An increase in incoming velocity or scale ratio leads to an increase in circulation and a decrease in the radius of TLV core, facilitating the occurrence of TLVC.

The wide range of interface scales involved is challenging to model, and this has so far limited the application of computational fluid dynamics to multi-regime flows and complex multiphase flow conditions. The morphology-adaptive GEneralized Multifluid Modelling Approach (GEMMA), developed in OpenFOAM, is designed to provide all-flow-regime modelling capabilities. The model implements in the multifluid modelling framework interface-resolving capabilities that are used to treat large-scale interfaces found in segregated flow regimes, while dispersed regimes remain modelled with the standard multifluid approach. In this paper, GEMMA is used to predict, for the horizontal pipe flow studied in the METERO experiment (Bottin et al., 2014), the development of the bubbly, plug, slug and stratified flow regimes starting from a homogeneous 1 mm bubble distribution at the inlet of the pipe. In the bubbly regime, the model predicts well the void fraction and bubble diameter distributions, but not the lower flow velocity when a bubble layer accumulates at the top of the pipe. Results also show that modelling closures developed mainly for vertical flow conditions, and which are a strong function of the relative velocity, may not be equipped to predict horizontal flows where relative velocities can be negligible. Beyond the bubbly regime, the model predicts the development of intermittent gas plugs, the increase in the length scale of the plugs approaching the transition to slug flow and the development of a stratified flow at the lowest water flow rate. The velocity of gas plugs is found to be in good agreement with literature models. Challenging to predict remains the transition region from bubbly to plug and from slug to stratified flow, where an anticipated transition to stratified flow is predicted in the slug regime. Overall, GEMMA provides a morphology-adaptive modelling framework that can achieve all-flow regime applicability, and the present work is a first demonstration of its capabilities for horizontal flow regimes. Short-term development needs are highlighted, such as additional validation and the improvement of bubbly flow closures, and the modelling of the dispersion and breaking-up of large interfaces to prevent excessive phase agglomeration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":339,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Multiphase Flow","volume":"184 ","pages":"Article 105112"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143138006","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 work presents the development of the novel population balance model (PBM) for simulating multiphase flows in continuous casting (CC) mold. The effect of two-phase turbulent modalities, SIT and BIT mechanisms on flow pattern, bubble distribution and bubble diameter were studied and against with the experimental data. The results show that the RNG model shows better agreement than other models for predicting flow patterns and bubble size. Compared with the experimental values, the mean relative error of Sauter mean diameter is 5.74 %. Furthermore, the correlation between three turbulent modalities and the SIT has been revealed. The turbulence properties predicted by dispersed-modality and per-modality are highly consistent, and the mixture-modality extremely overestimates the bubble size. The dispersed-modality is suitable for simulating gas-liquid flow for CC mold. Finally, we reveal the coupling mechanism between BIT and SIT models. The Simonin model is insufficient to describe the BIT effect due to the low momentum exchange. The Sato model only caused slight perturbation for the Standard model and significantly increased the turbulence viscosity predicted by RNG model.
