An agitated two-phase flow is studied numerically and experimentally in a mixing vessel agitated with two six-blade Rushton turbines. In Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the full Eulerian multiphase approach coupled with the standard turbulence model is performed to deal with two-phase flow. The impeller rotation was modelled by the Multiple Reference Frame (MRF) approach. The simulation was used to investigate the flow field, power and mixing time in single and two-phase cases. The results of the calculations have been verified with the data that was measured by particle image velocimetry (PIV) and planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) technique. The predicted results show good agreement with the experimental data. The computational model presented in this study could be useful for explaining the two-phase flow patterns on the mixing process and extending the applications of multiphase stirred reactors.

Hydrodynamic Coupling

CFD simulation and PIV test technology provide effective solution for revealing the complex flow of hydrodynamic coupling’s internal flow field. Some articles reported that the combination of CFD simulation and PIV test can be used for analyzing the internal flow field of coupling, and such analysis focuses on one-phase flow. However, most internal flow field of coupling are gas-fluid two-phase flow under the real operation conditions. In order to reflect the gas-fluid two-phase flow of coupling objectively, CFD three-dimensional numerical simulation is conducted under two typical operation conditions. In addition, modern two-dimensional PIV technology is used to test the two-phase flow. This method of combining experiments and simulation presents the characteristics of the flow field when charging ratios are different.

Drag And Lift

This paper concerns the model of a polydispersed bubble population in the frame of an ensemble averaged two-phase flow formulation. The ability of the moment density approach to represent bubble population size distribution within a multi-dimensional CFD code based on the two-fluid model is studied. Two different methods describing the polydispersion are presented: (i) a moment density method, developed at IRSN, to model the bubble size distribution function and (ii) a population balance method considering several different velocity fields of the gaseous phase. The first method is implemented in the Neptune_CFD code, whereas the second method is implemented in the CFD code ANSYS/CFX. Both methods consider coalescence and breakup phenomena and momentum interphase transfers related to drag and lift forces. Air-water bubbly flows in a vertical pipe with obstacle of the TOPFLOW experiments series performed at FZD are then used as simulations test cases. The numerical results, obtained with Neptune_CFD and with ANSYS/CFX, allow attesting the validity of the approaches. Perspectives concerning the improvement of the models, their validation, as well as the extension of their applicability range are discussed.

Improved Model

Abstract The interfacial area concentration (IAC) is an important parameter in the calculation of interfacial transfers in two-fluid model, which can affect the accuracy of the boiling simulations. In this paper, an improved IAC model based on drag force and drift velocity is obtained, which can make full use of the experimental data and the models of the drag force and the drift velocity to avoid the shortage of IAC algebraic model in two-phase flow simulations theoretically. The improved model is validated by the DEBORA boiling flow experiment data. The reasonable radial distributions of void fraction, liquid temperature and phase velocity can be obtained, which indicates that the improved IAC model coupled in boiling flow model can be applied in CFD simulation of two-phase boiling flow. The improved model provides a new calculation approach for the IAC in the boiling flow with multi flow regimes.
