Slug-plug flow analyses of stratified flows in a horizontal duct by means of MARS
The objectives of this study are to perform the slug-plug flow analyses of stratified flows in a horizontal duct by means of the MARS (Multi-interfaces Advection and Reconstruction Solver) developed by the author which based on the piece-wise linear calculation as a volume tracking procedure and the continuum surface force model (CSF) for the surface tension, and to investigate the effect of the Bernoulli term for slug-plug flows, i.e., so-called the topological law, on the competition between inertial forces and gravitation forces. Some discussion on the primary jump condition at the interface in the MARS is described in the paper. The results of the direct numerical simulation (DNS) by the MARS are compared with the experimental one. The slugging positions obtained by the DNS are in good agreement with the experimental one. Since the mass conservation between before the plugging and after slugging can be shown by the DNS here, the authors may conclude that this physical/numerical model based on the MARS is reliable.
