| Abstract: |
| A new film-gas core coupled model is proposed to account for vertical upward developed gas-liquid annular flow in this paper. Present model includes film flow, gas core flow as well as the effect of their interactions. Governing equations are solved by Fluent6.3.26 while the droplet equation, interfacial entrainment and deposition are accounted for by user defined function. Results show that pressure gradient and wall shear stress increase with inlet gas and liquid velocity, while entrainment fraction and film thickness results are not sensitive to inlet liquid velocity. Comparison of simulation results with experimental data implies that present model can well describe upward gas-liquid annular flow. |
