Taylor Bubble Breakup in Counter-Current Turbulent Flow Using Algebraic and Geometric Volume of Fluid Method
摘要
Turbulent flow of two-phase fluids occurs in many industrial systems. One of the manifestations of the two-phase flow in a pipe is slug flow, which consist of large gas bubbles (i.e. Taylor bubbles) separated from each other by liquid slugs. We are particularly interested in the phenomena of coalescence and breakup in the slug flow regime and the development of numerical models for the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method as they are still in early stages of development for two-phase flows [1].
