The two-dimensional and two-phase model of the gas-liquid mixture is constructed. The validity of numerical model realization is justified by using a comparative analysis of test problems solution with one-dimensional calculations. The regularities of gas-saturated liquid outflow from axisymmetric vessels for different geometries are established.

A single-phase, three-dimensional mathematical model has been constructed and implemented to simulate the fluid flow, heat transfer, species transport, electrochemical reaction, and current density distributions in a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) stack with parallel-shaped channels. In this study, a complete PEMFC stack with 3 parallel single-cells including the membrane, gas diffusion layers (GDLs), catalyst layers, flow channels, and current collectors was taken into account. The reasonable numerical results show the detailed distributions of fluid flow and species concentrations in the channel and porous media, heat and current transports through the single cells in the stack. Furthermore, this successful modeling of a single-phase PEMFC stack would be a critical step to further develop a general two-phase PEMFC model that could investigate the water management and effects of liquid water on the performance of a fuel cell stack.

The objective of this study is to quantify the effects of humic acid solution infiltration on the transport of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in soil columns using a three-phase transport model. From experimental results, it is found that the dissolved organic carbon enhances the transport of OCPs in the soil columns. In the OCPs-only column, the concentration profiles of OCPs can be simulated well using a two-phase transport model with numerical method or analytical solution. In the OCPs-DOC column, the migrations of aldrin, DDT and its daughter compounds are faster than those in the OCPs-only column. The simulation with the three-phase model is more accurate than that with the two-phase model. In addition, significant decrease of the fluid pore velocities of the OCPs-DOC column was found. When DOC leachate is applied for remediation of soil or groundwater pollution, the decrease of mean pore velocities will be a crucial affecting factor.

The two-phase model of vapor-gas-liquid medium in axisymmetric two-dimensional formulation, taking into account vaporization is constructed. The nonstationary processes of boiling vapor-water mixture outflow from high-pressure vessels as a result of depressurization are studied. The problems of shock waves action on filled by gas-liquid mixture volumes are solved.
