This study is concerned with liquid film dynamics and stability of annular flow, which plays an important role in understanding film rupture and dryout in boiling heat transfer. The research work starts from designing and making a test facility which enables the visualization and measurement of liquid film dynamics. A confocal optical sensor is applied to track the evolution of film thickness. A horizontal rectangular channel made of glass is used as the test section. Deionized water and air are supplied into that channel in such a way that an initial stratified flow forms, with the liquid film on the bottom wall. The present study is focused on characterization of liquid film profile and dynamics in term of interfacial wave and shear force induced film rupture under adiabatic condition. Based on the experimental data and analysis, it is found that given a constant water flowrate, the average thickness of water film decreases with increasing air flowrate, while the interfacial wave of the two-phase flow is intensified. As the air flowrate reaches a critical value, a localized rupture of the water film occurs.

Abstract. Gas-solid fluidized beds are widely applied in many industries as reactors or heat/mass transferring units because of their good heterogeneous mixing behaviors and large transferring area between the gas and solid phases. In this study, based on the Eulerian-Eulerian approach, 2D model of gas-solid flow field in fluidized bed is simulated, and the drag force models of Gidaspow and Syamlal-O’Brien have been used to simulate and analyze the two-phase flow for exploring mechanism and interaction laws of two-phase flow.
