A novel bubble generator has been developed to generate pairs of bubbles precisely. High-speed imaging technique has been employed to investigate the trajectory and shape of bubbles in detail. We observed that the trajectory of rising bubble varies with Reynolds number. When the Reynolds number is over the critical region, a pair of bubbles approaches each other and then collides. After the collision, two types of motion are observed: coalescence and bouncing. We investigate the critical Reynolds number and Weber number, based on the rising velocity, over which bubbles bounce. As a result, we clarify that the critical Weber number is around 2 regardless of Morton number. The critical Reynolds number decreases with increasing Morton number. In addition, we have found that the bouncing of a pair of bubbles differs from that of single bubbles at a wall; the two bubbles perform attracting and bouncing motion continuously with a rising velocity being kept almost constant, and the amplitude of bouncing motion of bubbles is seven to eight times larger than that of a single bubble at a wall.","PeriodicalId":381569,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Multiphase Flow Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122940395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional codes require experiments from laboratory scale to mock-up to obtain database for constitutive equations and verification. The aim of this study is to provide new simulation technique to substitute for a part of costly experiments. The extended two-fluid model developed by Hitachi, Ltd. was employed to treat inhomogeneous and intermittent two-phase flow behavior, which had been considered through constitutive equations. Validity of the new simulation code for complex two-phase flow was proved by comparison between calculated and experimental void fraction signals from two-phase flows in circular tubes, CCFL of a thick plate, and natural circulation of aerated pool in double cylinders. For measurement of instantaneous, multi-dimensional void fraction distributions, wire-mesh sensor techniques were employed for all test setups. It was found that the two-phase flow has higher orders of dynamics than initially expected, leading to development of robust analysis methods. The comparison was successful for well-structured flow patterns as slug flow, since the large diameter bubbles show low dimensional dynamics. It is also noted that an optimal delay time reconstruction method and a point correlation dimension method together were useful to increase the reliability of the analysis.","PeriodicalId":381569,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Multiphase Flow Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130002936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The test channel has a square cross section that has 2.0 mm on a side, and the radii of the curvature were 1.0 mm and 3.0 mm. It was cleared that the pressure fluctuation intensity became larger in the case of the curvature 1.0mm compared with the case of the curvature 3.0 mm. Furthermore, in order to investigate the influence of the wall wettability, we applied the water repellent micro-channel. In the case of the water repellent micro-channel, the flow pattern tended to easily transit to Annular flow side compared with the normal micro-channel without the water repellent, and we can see a new flow regime like Rivulet flow due to applying water repellent. In addition, the time-averaged pressure drop was decreased in the case of water repellent compared with the case of normal wall. The reason of this is considered that the liquid slug could move easily due to the lower surface tension force at the solid-liquid interface.","PeriodicalId":381569,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Multiphase Flow Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115109318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
