Abstract A numerical analysis of multisized glass particles interacting with a confined bluffbody flow was performed by combining the finite-volume method for the gaseous flow with the Lagrangian approach for the particulate flow. The second-moment Reynolds-stress model was used to predict the turbulent gaseous flow in a gas-particle system, where an improved eddy-interaction model was used to predict turbulence-induced particle dispersion. The interaction between the two phases was accounted for in terms of coupling sources. Numerical predictions of two-phase mean and fluctuating velocities for different particle sizes were compared with corresponding experimental data. Reasonably good agreement was achieved for the mean properties of both the gaseous and particulate flows.

Several recent cavitation models for the analysis of two-phase flows in diesel injectors with single- and two-fluid modeling approaches have been evaluated, including the Saha–Abu-Ramandan–Li (SAL), Schnerr–Sauer (SS), and Zwart–Gerber–Belamri (ZGB) models. The SAL model is a single-fluid model, while the other two models have been implemented with both single- and two-fluid approaches. Numerical predictions are compared with experimental results available in literature, qualitatively with experimental images of two-phase flow in an optically accessible nozzle, and quantitatively with measured mass flow rates and velocity profiles. It is found that at low injection pressure differentials there can be considerable discrepancy in the predictions of the vapor distribution from the three models considered. This discrepancy is reduced as the injection pressure differential is increased. Implementation of the SS and ZGB models with single- and two- fluid approaches yields noticeable differences in the results because of the relative velocity between the two phases, with two-fluid approach providing better agreement with experimental results. The performance of the SS and ZGB models implemented with the two-fluid approach is comparable with the SAL single-fluid model, but with significantly more computational time. Overall, the SAL single-fluid model performs comparatively better with respect to the other two models.

This work presents computational simulations and analytical techniques for solving the drift-flux two-phase flow model. The model equations are formulated to describe the exact solution of the Riemann problem. The solution is constructed by solving the conservation of mass for each phase and the mixture conservation momentum equation of the two phases under isothermal conditions. Particular attention is given to address the expressions for jump relationships and the Riemann invariants. The performance of the developed Riemann solver is assessed with respect to different test cases selected from the literature. Comparisons with Godunov methods of centred-type are provided to demonstrate the use of the proposed exact and computational framework. Excellent agreement is observed between analytical results and numerical predictions.

A comparative study using different cavitation models in mixture and Eulerian framework is carried out for the analysis of two-phase flows in diesel injectors. Three different cavitation models are investigated here: recently developed modified single-fluid, Schnerr-Sauer and Zwart-Gerber-Belamri models. The last two models have been implemented in both mixture and Eulerian framework. The numerical predictions are compared both qualitatively and quantitatively with experimental results available in the literature. Qualitative assessments have been carried out with experimental images of two-phase flow in an optically accessible nozzle. Quantitative comparisons have been done with measured mass flow rates and velocity profiles. It appears that at low pressure differentials there can be considerable discrepancy in the predictions of the vapour distribution from the three models considered. The modified single-fluid approach turns out to be comparatively better with respect to the other two models. Implementation in mixture and Eulerian framework yields noticeable differences in the results because of the relative velocity of the two phases. Numerical experiments have been carried out with different two-phase turbulence modelling approaches, pressure-velocity coupling algorithms, gradient calculation methods and under-relaxation factors to assess the robustness of the models. Additionally comparisons have been carried out for conditions under high inlet pressure in an axisymmetric nozzle to understand the performance of the models under realistic operating conditions.

This paper presents a numerical study of the oil-water two phase flow in hydrocyclone. Oil-water two phase separation was simulated by using Reynolds Stress Model and Mixer model of multi-phase models. The oil-water separation process, oil-phase volume fraction distribution, and trajectory about the water-oil two phase liquid flowing within hydrocyclone were obtained. The study show that the separation of water-oil two phases is mainly in the swirl-chamber and cone section in hydrocyclone, however, the cylindrical section plays an inessential role in stabilizing the flow field during separation process.

Rust is a relatively new programming language that has gained significant traction since its v1.0 release in 2015. Rust aims to be a systems language that competes with C/C++. A claimed advantage of Rust is a strong focus on memory safety without garbage collection. This is primarily achieved through two concepts, namely, reference lifetimes and borrowing . Both of these are well-known ideas stemming from the literature on region-based memory management and linearity / uniqueness . Rust brings both of these ideas together to form a coherent programming model. Furthermore, Rust has a strong focus on stack-allocated data and, like C/C++ but unlike Java, permits references to local variables. Type checking in Rust can be viewed as a two-phase process: First, a traditional type checker operates in a flow-insensitive fashion; second, a borrow checker enforces an ownership invariant using a flow-sensitive analysis. In this article, we present a lightweight formalism that captures these two phases using a flow-sensitive type system that enforces “ type and borrow safety .” In particular, programs that are type and borrow safe will not attempt to dereference dangling pointers. Our calculus core captures many aspects of Rust, including copy- and move-semantics, mutable borrowing, reborrowing, partial moves, and lifetimes. In particular, it remains sufficiently lightweight to be easily digested and understood and, we argue, still captures the salient aspects of reference lifetimes and borrowing. Furthermore, extensions to the core can easily add more complex features (e.g., control-flow, tuples, method invocation). We provide a soundness proof to verify our key claims of the calculus. We also provide a reference implementation in Java with which we have model checked our calculus using over 500B input programs. We have also fuzz tested the Rust compiler using our calculus against 2B programs and, to date, found one confirmed compiler bug and several other possible issues.

AbstractCOVID-19 (also known as SARS-COV-2) pandemic has spread in the entire world. It is a contagious disease that easily spreads from one person in direct contact to another, classified by experts in five categories: asymptomatic, mild, moderate, severe, and critical. Already more than 66 million people got infected worldwide with more than 22 million active patients as of 5 December 2020 and the rate is accelerating. More than 1.5 million patients (approximately 2.5% of total reported cases) across the world lost their life. In many places, the COVID-19 detection takes place through reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests which may take longer than 48 h. This is one major reason of its severity and rapid spread. We propose in this paper a two-phase X-ray image classification called XCOVNet for early COVID-19 detection using convolutional neural Networks model. XCOVNet detects COVID-19 infections in chest X-ray patient images in two phases. The first phase pre-processes a dataset of 392 chest X-ray images of which half are COVID-19 positive and half are negative. The second phase trains and tunes the neural network model to achieve a 98.44% accuracy in patient classification.

An experimental investigation of a two-phase pipe flow was undertaken to study kinematic and dynamic parameters of the fluid and solid phases. To accomplish this, a two-color digital particle image velocimetry and accelerometry (DPIV∕DPIA) methodology was used to measure velocity and acceleration fields of the fluid phase and solid phase simultaneously. The simultaneous, two-color DPIV∕DPIA measurements provided information on the changing characteristics of two-phase flow kinematic and dynamic quantities. Analysis of kinematic terms indicated that turbulence was suppressed due to the presence of the solid phase. Dynamic considerations focused on the second and third central moments of temporal acceleration for both phases. For the condition studied, the distribution across the tube of the second central moment of acceleration indicated a higher value for the solid phase than the fluid phase; both phases had increased values near the wall. The third central moment statistic of acceleration showed a variation between the two phases with the fluid phase having an oscillatory-type profile across the tube and the solid phase having a fairly flat profile. The differences in second and third central moment profiles between the two phases are attributed to the inertia of each particle type and its response to turbulence structures. Analysis of acceleration statistics provides another approach to characterize flow fields and gives some insight into the flow structures, even for steady flows.

Particle Residence Time

A particle dispersion has been experimentally investigated in a two-dimensional mixing layer with a large relative velocity between particle and gas-phase in order to clarify the effect of particle residence time on particle dispersion. Spherical glass particles 42, 72, and 135 μm in diameter were loaded directly into the origin of the shear layer. Particle number density and the velocities of both particle and gas phase were measured by a laser Doppler velocimeter with modified signal processing for two-phase flow. The results confirmed that the characteristic time scale of the coherent eddy apparently became equivalent to a shorter characteristic time scale due to a less residence time. The particle dispersion coefficients were well correlated to the extended Stokes number defined as the ratio of the particle relaxation time to the substantial eddy characteristic time scale which was evaluated by taking account of the particle residence time.

This paper is concerned with the determination of the performance change in centrifugal pumps operating under two-phase flow conditions using the velocities and void fractions calculated under the assumption of an inviscid bubbly flow with slippage between the two phases. The estimated changes in the theoretical head are confirmed with experiments within the range of bubbly flow regime.
