In the framework of two-fluid approach, we consider different formulations of the stability of plane-parallel two-phase flows. New factors are taken into account, namely, non-uniform particle concentration and particle velocity slip in the main flow, Saffman lift force in the interphase momentum exchange and a finite particle volume fraction. The study is aimed at the analysis of the effect of these factors on the critical Reynolds number and the stability margins of two-phase flows in a plane channel and boundary layer.

In present paper Re-reflection  effect on  shock –waves in two-phase flows through a tube of variable cross-section is considered when particle  volume fraction appeared as an additional variable .It is concluded that re-reflected effects reduce the cross sectional  area .For two-phase flows when equilibrium is eventually established , presence of particle volume fraction , further reduce  the cross – sectional area. One dimensional area relation for a non – uniform , steady flow ahead of a shock   is obtained and concluded that  all the results are valid for the case   when  direction of the shock motion and the gas flow ahead of the  shock is same  .  In preparation of graphs Mathematica 7 is used .

This article addresses the influence of particulate-fluid suspension on asymmetric peristaltic motion through a curved configuration with mass and heat transfer. A motivation for the current study is that such kind of theory is helpful to examine the two-phase peristaltic motion between small muscles during the propagation of different biological fluids. Moreover, it is also essential in multiple applications of pumping fluid-solid mixtures by peristalsis, i.e., Chyme in small intestine and suspension of blood in arteriole. Long wavelength, as well as small Reynolds number, have been utilized to render the governing equations for particle and fluid phase. Exact solutions are presented for velocity (uf,p), temperature (θf,p) and concentration distributions (φf,p). All the parameters such as Prandtl number (Pr), particle volume fraction (C), suspension parameter (M1), curvature parameter (k), volumetric flow rate (Q), Schmidt number (Sc), phase difference (φ), Eckert number (Ec), and Soret number (Sr) discussed graphically for peristaltic pumping (Δp), pressure gradient (dp/dx), velocity (uf,p), temperature (θf,p) and concentration distributions (φf,p). The streamlines are also plotted with the aid of contour.

The behavior of small solid particles falling in an unbounded air is simulated. The particles, initially arranged within a spherical region in a quiescent air, are made to fall, and their fall induces the air flow around them, resulting in the gas-particle two-phase flow. The particle diameter and density are 1 mm and 7.7 kg/m3 respectively. A three-dimensional vortex method proposed by one of the authors is applied. The simulation demonstrates that the particles are accelerated by the induced downward air flow just after the commencement of their fall. It also highlights that the particles are whirled up by a vortex ring produced around the downward air flow after the acceleration. The effect of the particle volume fraction at the commencement of the fall is also explored.

It is well known that the properties of materials are a function of their microstructural parameters. The FEM is a good selection for studies of three-dimensional microstructure-property relationships. In this research, the elastic-plastic micromechanical response of the particle volume fraction of two-phase materials have been calculated using a commercial software package of the FEM, some new knowledges on the microstructure-property relationships have obtained.

Classical scaling relationships for rheological quantities such as the $\mu (J)$ -rheology have become increasingly popular for closures of two-phase flow modelling. However, these frameworks have been derived for monodisperse particles. We aim to extend these considerations to sediment transport modelling by using a more realistic sediment composition. We investigate the rheological behaviour of sheared sediment beds composed of polydisperse spherical particles in a laminar Couette-type shear flow. The sediment beds consist of particles with a diameter size ratio of up to 10, which corresponds to grains ranging from fine to coarse sand. The data was generated using fully coupled, grain resolved direct numerical simulations using a combined lattice Boltzmann–discrete element method. These highly resolved data yield detailed depth-resolved profiles of the relevant physical quantities that determine the rheology, i.e. the local shear rate of the fluid, particle volume fraction, total shear and granular pressure. A comparison against experimental data shows excellent agreement for the monodisperse case. We improve upon the parameterization of the $\mu (J)$ -rheology by expressing its empirically derived parameters as a function of the maximum particle volume fraction. Furthermore, we extend these considerations by exploring the creeping regime for viscous numbers much lower than used by previous studies to calibrate these correlations. Considering the low viscous numbers of our data, we found that the friction coefficient governing the quasi-static state in the creeping regime tends to a finite value for vanishing shear, which decreases the critical friction coefficient by a factor of three for all cases investigated.

Because of the liquid phase’s driving action, particles would be collided the surface and impacted with each other in the flow passage, the surface will be machined though the continuous action of impact force and friction force. The finishing results of structural surface is related to the collision frequency and the pressure, abrasion situation in different area of the structural surface can be analyzed obviously by investigating dynamic characteristic and distribution of particle group. Based on coupled wave theory of liquid-solid two phases flow, using mixture model which belongs to Euler-Euler multiphase flow model and realizable turbulence model, turbulence effects of liquid-solid two-phase flow in the wall is numerical simulated and some parameters such as turbulent velocity and turbulent energy are calculated with different particles concentration in the flow passage which has V-shaped texture and semicircular cross-section. The simulation results show that the disorder degree of turbulence can be improved by assembling V-shaped constrained component, because V-shaped passage is benefit of eddy current’s generation. As the concentration of particles being enhanced, the velocity of particle would be increased in a certain range, turbulence energy reduces gradually, fluctuation margin of particle volume fraction is smaller and smaller, and curves of every kind of parameters change as continuous oscillation, area of surface corresponded with crest of the curve. The concentration of particles should be selected properly and different particles distribution and finishing performance would be obtained with different particles concentration.

We develop a model for the rheology of a three-phase suspension of bubbles and particles in a Newtonian liquid undergoing steady flow. We adopt an ‘effective-medium’ approach in which the bubbly liquid is treated as a continuous medium which suspends the particles. The resulting three-phase model combines separate two-phase models for bubble suspension rheology and particle suspension rheology, which are taken from the literature. The model is validated against new experimental data for three-phase suspensions of bubbles and spherical particles, collected in the low bubble capillary number regime. Good agreement is found across the experimental range of particle volume fraction ( 0 ≤ ϕ p ≲ 0.5 ) and bubble volume fraction ( 0 ≤ ϕ b ≲ 0.3 ). Consistent with model predictions, experimental results demonstrate that adding bubbles to a dilute particle suspension at low capillarity increases its viscosity, while adding bubbles to a concentrated particle suspension decreases its viscosity. The model accounts for particle anisometry and is easily extended to account for variable capillarity, but has not been experimentally validated for these cases.
