Book Description
The dynamic processes of capillary flow in complex geometries have been studied analytically, computationally and experimentally in this research. A general approach for modeling the capillary flow in arbitrary irregular geometries with straight axis of symmetry is proposed. Using this approach, the governing equation to describe the dynamic capillary rising motion in capillaries with nonuniform elliptical cross-section is first derived under the assumptions of parabolic distribution of the axial velocity and constant angle. The calculation results for the capillary flow in different tubes with irregular wall show that, in comparison with existing models that have been tested, the present model can improve the underestimation of the nonuniformity effects. Using the perturbation method, an asymptotic solution of the flow field in nonuniform circular tubes is obtained and is shown to be superior to the traditional Hagen-Poisuille solutions in comparison to the numerical FLUENT results. A new DCA (dynamic contact angle) model, combining the current velocity-dependent model based on molecular-kinetic theory and empirical time-dependent model based experiments, is proposed to describe the dynamic transition process from the initial state to the equilibrium state. The capillary flow model is further developed by using the new velocity distribution and the DCA model. The proposed theoretical models are validated by a series of experiments of capillary flow in complex geometries. The industrial application of the research was explored by adopting the proposed model to describe the water flow through a multi-layer porous medium that is used in Procter & Gamble's dewatering device for the paper making industry. Comparing with the experimental data, the proposed model has good predictions on the dewatering performance of the device, and hence, can potentially be used as an industrial design optimization tool.

Computational & Experimental Methods in Multiphase & Complex Flow IX
Author: P. Vorobieff
Publisher: WIT Press
ISBN: 1784661953
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
The 9th book from this successful conference series, on Computational & Experimental Methods in Multiphase & Complex Flow, presents the latest research in one of the most challenging, yet most universally applicable areas of technology. Multiphase flows are found in all areas of technology and the range of related problems of interest is vast, including astrophysics, biology, geophysics, atmospheric process, and many areas of engineering. Recently multiphase fluid dynamics have generated a great deal of attention, leading to many notable advances in experimental, analytical and numerical studies. It is perhaps, however, work on numerical solutions which is the most noticeable owing to the continuing improvements in computer software tools. Progress in numerical methods has permitted the solution of many practical problems, helping to improve our understanding of the physics involved. The presented papers illustrate the close interaction between numerical modellers and researchers working to gradually resolve the many outstanding issues in our understanding of multiphase flow. They cover such topics as: Multiphase flow simulation; Bubble and drop dynamics; Interface behaviour; Experimental measurements; Energy applications; Compressible flows; Flow in porous media; Turbulent flow; Image processing; Heat transfer; Atomization; Hydromagnetics; Plasma; Fluidised beds; Cavitation; Multiphase chemical reactions.

Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
Multiphase flows, which can involve compressible or incompressible linear or nonlinear, fluids, Are found in all areas of technology, at all length scales and flow regimes. In spite of their ubiquitousness, however multiphase flow continues to be one of the most challenging areas of computational mechanics and experimental methods, with numerous problems remaining unsolved to date. Because the multiphase flow problems are so complex, advanced computational and experimental methods are often required to solve the equations that describe them. The many hhallenges include modelling nonlinear fluids, modelling and tracking interfaces, dealing with multiple length scales, characterizing phase structures, and treating drop breakup and coalescence. Models must be validated, which requires the use of expensive and difficult experimental techniquess. This book presents contributions on the latest research in these techniques, presented at the sixth in a biennial series of conferences on the subject that begain in 2001. Featured topics include: Bubble and drop dynamics, Flow in porous media, Turbulent flow, Multiphase flow simulation, Image processing, Heat transfer, Interaction of gases, liquids and solids, Interface behaviour, Small scale phenomena, Atomization processes, and Liquid film behaviour.
