Level Set Approach for Capturing Interface Position of Annular Two-Phaseflow
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Nouri-Borujerdi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Numerical simulation of air-water annular two-phase flow in a tube is carried out by using level set method for determining position of interface between two phases. Governing equations include continuity, momentum and level set equations that considered for each phase. The finite difference scheme is used to discretize the differential equations. The SIMPLE algorithm is adopted to solve the discretized equations for linking continuity and momentum equation. An unequally spaced staggered grid size for flow field is adopted. The Level Set method is used to capture interface position between two phases. To increase the accuracy of solution at level set equation, 5th order finite difference and...
Stability of Stratified Two-Phase Flow by Chebyshev Collocation Method
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Nouri, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis fluid flow stability will be studied using Chebychev collocation spectral method. In general instability occurs between layers of a single fluid or at the interface of two different fluids. In case of an unstable flow small imposed perturbations on the flow will grow with time and their amplitudes will grow larger. Instability in most cases is an unfavorable phenomenon and therefore should be avoided.Two-phase flow processes in horizontal or vertical pipes under various conditions like natural or forced convection are of considerable importance in industrial applications. Two-phase flow can be found in many devices and industries like boilers, nuclear reactors, cooling and...

Abstract
In this study, a three-dimensional mathematical model, based on a nonuniform droplet concentration distribution, has been developed to simulate gas absorption in a venturi scrubber. The mass transfer process was illustrated by assuming the liquid phase as a combination of droplets and film. The flow, just as the annular two-phase flow, includes a flow of liquid film layer on the walls and a flow of gas and liquid drops in the core. Peclet number was determined using experimental data reported by Viswanathan et al. (1984) for distribution of droplets across the cross section of the scrubber. The mathematical model for gas absorption was justified by comparing the theoretical predictions with...
