Computational modelling of slug flow in a capillary microreactor

Numerical Investigations of Two-phase Flows through Enhanced Microchannels

“…mono-dispersed drop flow, slug flow, parallel flow based on the Weber numbers of fluid phases [14][15][16][17] . The free surface simulation has been carried out by Kashid et al 18 to understand the mechanism of slug flow generation. In an another experimental study, the droplets formation of the oil-water two-phase system has been investigated in a microchannel 19 .…”

Numerical Study and Experimental Comparison of Two-Phase Flow Generation in a T-Junction

“…A commercial CFD package was used by Qian & Lawal [3] to simulate the squeezing regime during the bubble formation in a T-junction microchannel, focusing on studying the eects of pressure, surface tension and shear stress action on the gas thread. Kashid et al [4] discussed CFD modelling aspects of internal circulation and slug ow generation. The slug ow formation in a 120…”

Numerical simulation of bubble generation in a T-junction

“…Their work was focussed on the study of the effects of pressure, surface tension and shear stress action on the gas thread. Kashid et al [9] discussed CFD modelling aspects of internal circulations and slug flow generation. The slug flow formation in a 120°Y-junction was simulated and velocity profiles inside the slug were obtained.…”

“…In this work we focus on the analysis of the formation of a train of -1 -dispersion. In this work we focus on the analysis of the formation of a train of bubbles by means of a cross flow generated in a capillary T-shaped junction [7][8][9]. In this bubble generator, gas is injected from a capillary into a perpendicular one where liquid is flowing (see Fig.1).…”
