Modeling Multiphase Flows Introduction In the world of CFD, Multiphase Flow is simultaneous flow of: Matter with different phases (i.e., gas, liquid and/or solids). Matter with different chemical substances but with the same phase (e.g., oil-water). The fluid system is defined by a primary and multiple secondary phases. One of the phases is considered continuous (primary) The others (secondary) are considered to be dispersed within the continuous phase. Typically, a diameter has to be assigned for each secondary phase to calculate its interaction with the primary phase. Multiphase Flow Regimes Multiphase Flow Regimes Bubbly flow: Discrete gaseous bubbles in a continuous fluid Droplet flow: Discrete fluid droplets in a continuous gas Slug flow: Large bubbles in a continuous liquid Stratified/free-surface flow: Immiscible fluids separated by a clearly-defined interface Particle-laden flow: Discrete solid particles in a continuous gas Pneumatic Tranpsort: packed bed type flows Fluidized Bed: gas flow in distributor Slurry Flow: particle flow in liquids Hydrotranpsort: densely distributed solid particles in liquid Sedimentation: particle flow in liquids which accumulate at bottom of tank Multiphase Flow Applications by Regime Bubbly flow: absorbers, aeration, air lift pumps, cavitation, evaporators, flotation, scrubbers Droplet flow: absorbers, atomizers, combustors, cryogenic pumping, dryers, evaporation, gas cooling, scrubbers Slug flow: large bubble motion in pipes or tanks Stratified/free-surface flow: sloshing in offshore separator devices, boiling and condensation in nuclear reactors Particle-laden flow: cyclone separators, air classifiers, dust collectors, and dust-laden environmental flows Pneumatic transport: transport of cement, grains, and metal powders Fluidized bed: fluidized bed reactors, circulating fluidized beds Slurry flow: slurry transport, mineral processing Hydrotransport: mineral processing, biomedical and physiochemical fluid systems
