6. FLUID DYNAMICS IN HIGH PRESSURE SLURRY BUBBLE COLUMNS Introduction In this work at OSU a study of hydrodynamic characteristics of high-pressure and high-temperature bubble columns were undertaken. The PIV technique was utilized to quantify the rise velocity and interactive dynamics of bubbles. In this report, the flow visualization technique using the PIV’s unique particle tracking algorithm and blob size analysis is used to investigate the single bubble rise velocity and the bubble size distribution in a high-pressure bubble column. Furthermore, a computational model for gas-liquid-solid fluidization systems and a two-dimensional code based on it are developed in this study. In this model, the volume-averaged method, the dispersed particle method and the volume-of-fluid method are used, respectively, to account for the flow of liquid, solid, and gas phases. The gas-liquid interfacial mass, momentum, and energy transfer is described by a continuum surface force model. A collision model, which includes the particle-fluid and particle-particle interactions during the entire process of collision, is considered in the simulation. The particle-bubble interaction is formulated by incorporating the surface tension force in the equation of motion of the particles. The simulation of a single bubble rising in a liquid-solid fluidized bed and the particle entrainment with an emerging bubble is conducted and the results are in good agreement with the experimental findings. Experimental Set-up The high-pressure and high-temperature bubble column system used in this study consists of a vertical column, a liquid supply tank, a liquid exhaust reservoir, a piston pump, and a pulsation damper. The vertical column comprises three sections: the plenum, the test, and the disengagement sections. The pipes and column are insulated. Two sizes of stainless steel columns are used: one is 50.8 mm in diameter and 0.80 m in height and the other is 101.6 mm in diameter and 1.58 m in h
