CFD Simulation on Flow Field of Gas-Liquid Taylor Flow in Circular Capillaries

Article Preview

Abstract:

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate the flow field of gas-liquid Taylor flow in circular capillaries. The separate influence of gas bubble velocity Vb,Taylor unit length LUC, film length Lfilm and liquid film thickness δfilm on both the liquid slug velocity Vx,top and film velocity Vx,film were investigated. The values of Vx,top are mainly dependent on Vb and δfilm while Vx,film relies on all the four parameters.
