Three‐dimensional simulation of bubble column flows with bubble coalescence and breakup

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3-D) Euler/Euler simulations of two-phase (gas/liquid) transient flow were performed using a multiphase flow algorithm based on the finite-volume method. These numerical simulations cover laboratory-scale bubble columns of different diameters, operated over a range of superficial gas velocities in the churn-turbulent regime (8 to 30 cm/s) and at different operating pressures (up to 1 MPa). The bubble population balance equation (BPBE) is implemented in the two-fluid model (TFM) and algebraic… Show more

“…For further reference, Strasser [18] offers a study of turbulence interactions between continuous and dispersed phases. Commercial implementations of bubble population balance models for CFX and FLUENT are discussed in Olmos et al [14] and Chen et al [15], respectively; however, application to pX oxidation proved ineffective at matching experimental hold-up and velocity distributions and pressure fluctuations. Therefore, the authors have developed a novel population balance method for realistic industrial pX oxidation conditions.…”

“…(Rande 12) ). For steady-state incompressible flow in the absence of mass transfer, external body forces such as the centrifugal forces, and virtual mass effects (which assume significance only when high-frequency fluctuations of the relative velocity are predominant; Drew 32) ; Chen et al 14) ), the momentum conservation equation simplifies to:…”

“…Multi-fluid Flow It is well known that in dispersed multiphase flows, inter-phase forces play a significant role in determining the local phase distribution (Jakobsen et 14) ; Tabib et al 15) ). Some of the typical interface forces encountered in multi-fluid dispersion are gravitational and buoyancy force, drag force, lift force, virtual/added mass force, Basset force, wall lubrication force and turbulent dispersion.…”

“…These will be discussed briefly below in order of increasing complexity. Mixture models (see, for instance Chen et al [2]) are those in which the gas and all particle size classes are combined into a single equivalent fluid. Particulate mixture models (see, for instance, Chen et al [2]) are created by combining all particulate size classes into a single equivalent fluid while allowing the gas to retain a separate identity.…”

Particulate mixture models (see, for instance, Chen et al [2]) are created by combining all particulate size classes into a single equivalent fluid while allowing the gas to retain a separate identity. Multiple size group (MUSIG) models (see, for instance, Ghaniyari-Benis et al [3]) group the size classes into a smaller number of equivalent fluids which, along with the gas, have separate identities.…”
