This paper simulates the dispersed bubbly flow in a vertical tube with two different turbulence models based on Eulerian two-fluid frameworks. Both the RANS (Reynolds Averaged N-S equation) approach and LES (Large Eddy Simulation) approach can get results agreed with experiment well. The “wall peak” bubble distribution is captured. Compare with RANS with SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model, the LES with WALE (Wall-Adapted Local Eddy-viscosity) sub-grid model can give transient and detail information of the flow field, and it shows better agreement.

Large eddy simulation (LES) of nonreacting turbulent flow in a multiswirler model combustor is carried out at elevated pressure and high temperature. Flow interaction between the main stage and the pilot stage is discussed based on the time-averaged and instantaneous flowfield. Flow dynamics in the multiswirling flow are analyzed using a phase-averaged method. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is used to extract dominant flow features in the multiswirling flow. Numerical results show that the main stage and the pilot stage flows interact with each other generating a complex flowfield. Flow interaction can be divided into three regions: converging region, merging region, and combined region. A precessing vortex core (PVC) is successfully captured in the pilot stage. PVC rotates with a first dominant frequency of 2756 Hz inducing asymmetric azimuthal flow instabilities in the pilot stage. POD analyses for the velocity fields also show dominant high-frequency modes (mode 1 and mode 2) in the pilot stage. However, the dominant energetic flow is damped rapidly downstream of the pilot stage such that it has a little effect on the main stage flow.
