A method of indirectly measuring the temporally varying velocities of both the particulate and gas phases in the nonequilibrium region of a shock wave moving at constant speed in a dusty-gas mixture is described. This method is implemented by using experimental data from shock-induced air flows containing glass beads 40 μm in diameter in a dusty-gas shock-tube facility featuring a large horizontal channel 197 mm high by 76 mm wide with a special dust-injection device. Simultaneous measurements of the shock-front speed with time-of-arrival gauges, particulate concentration by light extinctiometry, and combined particulate concentration and gas density by beta-ray absorption are used in conjunction with two mass conservation laws to provide these indirect two-phase velocity measurements. Direct measurements of the particulate-phase velocity by laser-Doppler velocimetry are also presented for comparison, and the capability of the indirect velocity-measurement method is assessed.

Purpose Numerous researchers have probed the peristaltic flows because of their immense usage in industrial engineering, biomedical engineering and biological sciences. However, the investigation of peristaltic flow in two-phase fluid of a rotating frame in the presence of a magnetic field has not been yet discussed. Therefore, to fulfill this gap in the existing literature, this paper will explicate the peristaltic flow of two-phase fluid across a rotating channel with the effect of wall properties in the presence of a magnetic field. The purpose of this study is to investigate the two-phase velocity distribution and rotation parameter when magneto-hydrodynamics is applied. Design/methodology/approach The constituent equations are solved under the condition of low Reynolds number and long wavelength. The exact method is used to attain the subsequent equations and a comprehensive graphical study for fluid phase, particulate phase velocity and flow rates are furnished. The impacts of pertinent parameters, magnetic field and rotation are discussed in detail. Findings It is witnessed that the velocity profile of particulate phase gets higher values for the same parameters as compared to the fluid phase velocity. Moreover, the axial velocity increases with different values of particle volume fraction, but in case of magnetic field and rotation parameter, it shows the opposite behavior. Practical implications The outcomes of study have viable industrial implementations in systems comprising solid-liquid based flows of fluids involving peristaltic movement. Originality/value The investigation of peristaltic flow in two-phase fluid of a rotating frame in the presence of a magnetic field has not been yet discussed. Therefore, to fulfill this gap, the present study will explicate the peristaltic flow of two-phase fluid across a rotating channel with the effect of wall properties in the presence of magnetic field.

Tip clearance has a great effect on the flow and pressure fluctuation characteristics in a multiphase pump, especially at multiple operating points. The phase distribution and pressure fluctuation in tip clearance in a multiphase pump are revealed using the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) technology and high-speed photography methods. In this paper, the phase distribution, the gas-liquid two-phase velocity slip, and the pressure fluctuation intensity are comprehensively analyzed. Results show with the increase of the tip clearance, the multiphase pump pressurization performance is obviously deteriorated. In the meantime, the gas accumulation mainly occurs at the hub, the blade suction side (SS), and the tip clearance, and the maximum gas-liquid two-phase velocity difference is near the impeller streamwise of 0.4. In addition, the tip clearance improves the gas-liquid two-phase distribution in the pump, that is, the larger the tip clearance is, the more uniform the gas-liquid distribution becomes. Furthermore, the gas leads to the maximum pressure fluctuation intensity in the tip clearance which is closer to the tip leakage flow (TLF) outlet, and has a greater effect on the degree of flow separation in the tip clearance.

The empirical expressions for the equivalent friction factor to simulate the effect of particle-wall interaction with a single solid species have been extended to model the wall shear stress for multispecies solid-gas flows. Expressions representing the equivalent shear stress for solid-gas flows obtained from these wall friction models are included in the one-dimensional two-phase flow model and it can be used to study the effect of particle-wall interaction on the flow characteristics.

In this paper, we develop a new computational framework to investigate the sloshing free surface flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in the rectangular tanks. We simulate the flow via a two-phase model and employ the fixed unstructured mesh in the computation to avoid the mesh distortion and reconstruction. As for the solution of Navier–Stokes equation, we utilize the SUPG finite element method based on the splitting scheme. The same order interpolation functions are then used for velocity and pressure. Moreover, the moving interface is captured via the concise level set method. We take advantage of the implicit discontinuous Galerkin method to handle the solution of level set and its reinitialization equations. A mass correction technique is also added to ensure the mass conservation property. The dam break-free surface flow is simulated firstly to demonstrate the validity of our mathematical model. In addition, the sloshing Newtonian fluid in the tank with flat and rough bottoms is considered to illustrate the feasibility and robustness of our computational scheme. Finally, the development of free surface for non-Newtonian fluid is also studied in the two tanks, and the influence of power-law index on the sloshing fluid flow is analyzed.
