Generation of vapor and predication of its behavior is an important problem in many industries. In this study, the three dimensional governing equations for turbulence two-phase flow are derived using ensemble averaging two fluid model. The governing equations are simplified by a heuristic approach based on boiling data, and the equations are used to obtain the parameters for each phase along the channel. A computer program is written for the simplified one-dimensional equations, and the results are compared with experimental data.

AbstractIn the present work, both computational and experimental methods are employed to study the two-phase flow occurring in a model pump sump. The two-fluid model of the two-phase flow has been applied to the simulation of the three-dimensional cavitating flow. The governing equations of the two-phase cavitating flow are derived from the kinetic theory based on the Boltzmann equation. The isotropic RNGk — ε — kcaturbulence model of two-phase flows in the form of cavity number instead of the form of cavity phase volume fraction is developed. The RNGk—ε—kcaturbulence model, that is the RNGk — eturbulence model for the liquid phase combined with thekcamodel for the cavity phase, is employed to close the governing turbulent equations of the two-phase flow. The computation of the cavitating flow through a model pump sump has been carried out with this model in three-dimensional spaces. The calculated results have been compared with the data of the PIV experiment. Good qualitative agreement has been achieved which exhibits the reliability of the numerical simulation model.
