与传统VOF方法相比
CLSVOF可以得到更精确的相界面;随着螺旋升角的增加
塞状流向泡状流的转换边界向UL减小的方向进行
但是幅度很小
塞状流向弹状流的转换边界向UL减小的方向进行;随着螺旋直径的增加
塞状流向泡状流的转换边界向UL减小的方向进行
塞状流向弹状流的转换边界向UL减小、UG增大的方向进行;与Murai流型图相比
流型转换边界有所差异.
Abstract
A numerical analysis of air-water two-phase flow characteristics in helical square ducts was made using the CLSVOF (coupled level set and volume of fluid) multiphase model. The range of gas superficial velocity was 0.1—2.5 m·s-1
and liquid superficial velocity was 0.09—4.5 m·s-1. An investigation of effects of curvature diameter and helix angle on flow pattern transition was made. The air-liquid two-phase flow pattern map was drafted under different flow conditions. Compared with the traditional interface tracking method
the CLSVOF method could get a more accurate gas-liquid interface. With helix angle increasing
the conversion boundary from plug flow to bubbly flow moved towards decreasing UL
but only slightly. The conversion boundary from plug flow to slug flow moved towards decreasing UL. With coil diameter increasing
the conversion boundary from plug flow to bubbly flow moved towards decreasing UL. The conversion boundary from plug flow to slug flow moved towards decreasing UL and increasing UG. Flow pattern transition was different from Murai flow pattern.
