The two-fluid model is widely used for practical applications involving multi-phase flows in chemical reactor, nuclear reactor, desalination systems, boilers, and internal combustion engine. There are several modeling terms in the two-fluid model, which must be determined properly. This study suggests the best models for turbulent vertical bubbly flow.

Tomography has been investigated to observe bubble behaviors in two-phase flows. A bubbly flow and an annular flow have been reconstructed by tomography methods such as an algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) and a multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique (MART) . Computer synthesized phantom fields have been used to calculate asymmetric density distributions for limited cases of 3, 5, and 7 projection angles. As a result of comparison of two tomography methods, the MART method has shown a significant improvement in the reconstruction accuracy for analysis of the two-phase flows.

The bubbly flow of air or steam in subcooled water are investigated here in several test cases, characterized by different pipe sizes, bubble dimensions and flow rates, by means of CFD using a Eulerian-Eulerian approach. The performance of models that differ for the turbulence closure in the continuous phase, as well as for the description of the lift force on the dispersed phase, are compared in detail. When air is considered, the space of the experimental parameters leading to a reasonable performance for the selected models are identified and discussed, while the issues left in the modelling of the concurrent condensation are highlighted for the cases where steam is used.

관내 2상 유동의 기공률을 효과적으로 측정할 수 있는 3-ring 임피던스미터를 이용하여 실제 슬러그류 및 기포류를 측정하였다. 먼저, 임피던스미터의 신호와 기공률 사이의 보정곡선을 구하였다. 임피던스미터는 동일한 기공률을 갖는 슬러그류와 기포류에 대해 각각 다른 보정곡선을 나타내는 특성을 보였다. 임피던스미터는 유동패턴에 따라 두 보정 곡선 중 하나를 선택해야 하며, 기공률 측정 결과로 부터 유동 패턴을 판단할 수 있었다. 두 개의 임피던스미터를 통해 측정된 기공률 변화 곡선으로부터 기포의 이동 속도, 크기를 효과적으로 측정할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 2상 횡유동을 받는 튜브군의 진동 메카니즘을 규명하기 위한 실험계획의 일환으로 실시된 실험으로부터 튜브군의 유체탄성 불안정성 상수에 관해 고찰하였다. 실험은 먼저 p/d=1.47 및 1.32 튜브군에 대해 수행되었는데, 이들 튜브 군의 결과는 참고문헌에 발표하였다. 본 논문은 후속 실험으로 수행된 p/d=1.22인 튜브군을 사용하여 유체탄성 불안정성 상수를 고찰한 참고문헌의 후속논문이다. 실 험은 액체상태로 부터 99% 보이드율(void fraction)까지 변화된 2상 유동에서 튜브가 유체탄성 불안정성 상태에 도달할 때까지 점진적으로 증가하였다.실험결과는 p/d= 1.32 alc 1.47 튜브군의 유체탄성 불안정성 결과들과 종합. 비교되었다.

Algebraic reconstruction technique (ART)과 multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique (MART)이라는 토모그래피 방법을 이용하여 2상유동에서 기포의 거동을 배침투적으로 분석하였다. 먼저, 컴퓨터 합성 영상장으로 환상유통과 기포유동을 제작하여 2차원 단면의 재건을 시도하였다. 2상유동의 보다 정확한 결과들을 얻기 위하여 두가지 토모그래피 방법이 비교되었다. 그리고, 2상유동에서 기포의 거동을 3차원으로 분석하기 위하여 2개와 3개의 기포가 존재하는 3차원 합성 영상장으로부터 2차원 단면에서 보다 정확한 결과를 보인 MART 재건법에 의해서 밀도 분포 해석을 수행하였다.

Flow visualizations have been carried out to analyze the characteristics of bubby flows exhausted from a venturi-type bubble generator with an air vent. For various design parameters and operating conditions of the bubble generator, the images of bubbly flows was recorded using a high-speed camera and a microscope. Then the amount and size distribution of bubble was evaluated by an image processing technique. The results show that for increasing the amount of bubble, it is more effective to reduce the venturi throat than to enlarge the air vent diameter. If the water flow rate increases, the bubble generation rate increases but reaches a status of saturation, whose condition depends on Reynolds number at a given air vent diameter. The bubble size increases as the diameter of venturi throat decreases and Reynolds number increases. However, the air vent diameter is not a significant factor on bubble size.

The two-fluid equations are widely used to simulate two-phase flows in a nuclear reactor. For the two-fluid momentum equation, the wall and interfacial drag terms play an important role in predicting a two-phase flow behavior. Since the bubble density is much smaller than the water density, the bubble accelerates faster than the liquid in a nozzle. As a result, the bubble phase becomes faster than the liquid phase in the nozzle. In contrast, the opposite phenomena occur in the diffuser. The purpose of our study is to experimentally show these behaviors in an area-varying channel such as nozzle and diffuser. Experiments were made of turbulent bubbly flows in an area-varying horizontal channel. The velocities of the bubble and liquid phases were measured by the PIV technique. It was shown that the two-phase velocities were no longer close to each other in the area-varying regions. The bubble was faster than the liquid in the nozzle; in contrast, the bubble was slower than the liquid in the diffuser. Code simulations were also performed using the MARS code. By replacing the original wall drag model in the MARS code with Kim (1)'s wall drag partition model, we obtained the simulation results being consistent with experimental observations.

An experimental study was conducted to examine the internal flow patterns inside the mixing chamber of effervescent atomizers. The mixing chamber has the rectangular cross section ($8mm{\times}2mm$) and made of transparent acrylic plate for flow visualization. The parameters tested were the air/liquid ratio (ALR), injection. pressure, and the nozzle orifice diameter. Three different flow regimes were observed; bubbly, annular, and intermittent flows. In the bubbly flow regime, the discharged mixture was disintegrated into drops through the bubble expansion and the ligament breakup. On the other hand, in the annular flow regime, the liquid annulus was disintegrated into small drops by the aerodynamic interaction between the phases due to the high relative velocities between the gas and the liquid. In the intermittent flow regime, the bubble-expansion/ligament-disintegration mode and the annulus-disintegration mode appeared alternatively. The correlations representing the transition criteria between the two-phase flow patterns within the mixing chamber were proposed based on the drift-flux models.
