Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulations of Taylor Bubbles in Vertical and Inclined Pipes with Upward and Downward Liquid Flow

Journal Article Lizarraga-Garcia, E. ; Buongiorno, J. ; Al-Safran, E. - SPE Journal

Summary Two-phase flow is a common occurrence in pipes of oil and gas developments. Current predictive tools are based on the mechanistic two-fluid model, which requires the use of closure relations to predict integral flow parameters such as liquid holdup (or void fraction) and pressure gradient. However, these closure relations carry the highest uncertainties in the model. In particular, significant discrepancies have been found between experimental data and closure relations for the Taylor bubble velocity in slug flow, which has been determined to strongly affect the mechanistic model predictions (Lizarraga-García 2016). In this work, we study the behavior of Taylormore »« less

Taylor flow in intermediate diameter channels: Simulation and hydrodynamic models

Journal Article Rattner, Alexander S. ; Garimella, Srinivas - International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer

The two-phase Taylor flow pattern has been studied extensively. However, limited information is available for flows in intermediate diameter channels (5 ≲ Bo ≲ 40, or 6mm ≲ D ≲ 27mm for ambient gas–water flows), as found in air-lift and bubble pumps. Previous investigations have primarily evaluated Taylor flow models in terms of overall pressure drop, which incorporates hydrostatic and multiple hydrodynamic components. Thus, individual sub-models and sources of error could not be directly assessed. Here in this investigation, volume-of-fluid (VOF) based Taylor flow simulations are performed over a wide range of laminar and turbulent conditions in the intermediate Bondmore »« less

Flow regime transitions for vertical upward gas-liquid flow: A. a model for flow regime transitions for vertical upward gas liquid flow-effect of properties and line size. B. a theoretical approach to the prediction of flow regime transitions in unsteady horizontal gas-liquid flow. Progress report No. 2

Technical Report Dukler, A E ; Taitel, Y

The computer program was developed to study flow regime transitions and to study the effect of line size and fluid properties. The fundamental equations predicting transition conditions include the effects of both property and line size. To demonstrate the effects on the conventional velocity coordinate map, the transitions were calculated for air-water at atmospheric conditions in vertical tubes of 1, 2, 8, and 12 inches in diameter. The bubble-slug and the churn-annulat transitions were unaffected by line size. However, as the line size increased, the zone of churn flow diminished.

Simulation of Taylor flow evaporation for bubble-pump applications

Journal Article Rattner, Alexander S. ; Garimella, Srinivas - International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer

Single-pressure absorption systems incorporate bubble-pump generators (BPGs) for refrigerant separation and passive fluid circulation. In conventional spot-heated BPGs, heat is transferred over a small area, requiring high source temperatures. Distributed-heated BPGs receive thermal input over most of the component surface, enabling low temperature operation. In this investigation, a Volume-of-Fluid phase-change simulation formulation is developed and validated. Here this approach is applied to the evaporating Taylor flow pattern in distributed-heated BPGs. A 2-D axisymmetric simulation is performed, which yields detailed information about the developing heat transfer and two-phase flow phenomena. Results are used to assess predicted trends and sub-models from amore »« less

Heat transfer with phase change in vertical upward, horizontal, and vertical downward tube flow

Journal Article Hughmark, G A - Ind. Eng. Chem. Fundam.; (United States)

Heat transfer coefficients for boiling and condensation with the wall region as the liquid phase and with vapor velocity contributing significantly to the wall shear stress can be calculated from single-phase heat transfer equations and the wall shear stress. There does not appear to be an effect of Prandtl number or mixture composition other than that based on properties of the pure components. With vertical upward flow in the annular regime horizontal, and vertical downward flow, heat transfer coefficients with phase change are predicted by the wall shear stress model. With boiling in vertical upward flow in the slug regime,more »« less
