Experiment and Numerical Simulation on Gas-Liquid Annular Flow through a Cone Sensor.

ABSTRACT: The cone meter has been paid increasing attention in wet gas measurement, due to its distinct advantages. However, the cone sensor, which is an essential primary element of the cone meter, plays a role in the measurement of wet gas flow that is important, but not fully understood. In this article, we investigate the gas-liquid annular flow through a cone sensor by experiment and numerical simulation. Emphasis is put on the influences of pressure recovery characteristics and flow structure, and how they are affected by the cone sensor. The results show that the vortex length is shortened in gas-liquid annular flow, compared with that in single-phase gas flow. The pressure recovery length is closely related with the vortex length, and shorter vortex length leads to shorter pressure recovery length. The gas-liquid distribution suggests that flow around the apex of back-cone is very stable, little liquid is entrained into the vortex, and no liquid appears around the low pressure tapping, which makes a more stable pressure at the apex of cone sensor feasible. This finding highlights the importance of obtaining the low pressure from the back-cone apex, which should be recommended in the multiphase flow measurement. Our results may help to guide the optimization of the cone sensor structure in the wet gas measurement.

Study on Parameters of a New Gas-Water Spray in Ore Pass Dedusting Based on Experiment and Numerical Simulation.

Project description:To solve the problem of ore unloading dust in ore pass crosscuts, the atomization characteristics of a new gas-water spray and the effect of the ore discharge airflow on the spray effect were studied by experiments, and the installation position of the spray nozzle in the crosscut was determined by numerical simulation. The results show that when the gas-water flow ratio is 100-150, the atomization effect is the best. In this situation, the droplet size can be less than 28 ?m. The impact airflow induced by ore unloading has a great influence on the size of the spray droplets, and the dust-collecting ability of the spray is negatively correlated with the impinging airflow. The best location for the spray is 5 m away from the wellhead. At this position, the impact airflow is less than 1.5 m/s, which can ensure that the total dustfall rate of the gas-water spray is 67% and that of the respiratory dust is 34%.

Numerical Simulation of the Gas-Solid Two-Phase Flow-Reaction Process in a Maximizing Isoparaffin Process Reactor.

Project description:The process of the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is accompanied by complex physical and chemical reactions and phase transition processes. For the FCC process-maximizing isoparaffin process (MIP), coupled simulation and optimization of flow reaction can meet the requirements for the design and operation of high efficiency, low energy consumption, low pollution, and low cost in the catalytic device. A combination of Eulerian-Eulerian model and 11-lump kinetic model is adopted to simulate the flow-reaction process of gas-solid two-phase of an industrial MIP riser reactor. A drag model based on the energy-minimization multiscale model established by Yang is incorporated into FLUENT through a user-defined function (UDF). The temperature distribution of the catalyst and the concentration of each product component at the outlet are in good agreement with the industrial measured data, which indicates that the established coupling model of flow reaction and drag model are reliable and effective. The two operating variables of the catalyst-to-oil ratio and catalyst inlet temperature are explored their effects on the flow-reaction process of FCC gas-solid two-phase. In the prelifting zone, the velocity of catalyst particles presents parabolic distribution. In the first reaction zone, the maximum velocity of catalyst particles is about 1/2 of the radius of the riser. In the second reaction zone, the maximum particle velocity of catalyst is located in the central region, with a slight increase in about 1/2 of the radius of the riser. The increase in catalyst-to-oil ratio leads to the decrease in the yield of diesel oil and the increase in yields of gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas, propylene, and dry gas. The changes in the catalyst inlet temperature affect the product distribution of the outlet component, which can provide an important guiding significance.

Characterizing the correlations between local phase fractions of gas-liquid two-phase flow with wire-mesh sensor.

Project description:Understanding of flow patterns and their transitions is significant to uncover the flow mechanics of two-phase flow. The local phase distribution and its fluctuations contain rich information regarding the flow structures. A wire-mesh sensor (WMS) was used to study the local phase fluctuations of horizontal gas-liquid two-phase flow, which was verified through comparing the reconstructed three-dimensional flow structure with photographs taken during the experiments. Each crossing point of the WMS is treated as a node, so the measurement on each node is the phase fraction in this local area. An undirected and unweighted flow pattern network was established based on connections that are formed by cross-correlating the time series of each node under different flow patterns. The structure of the flow pattern network reveals the relationship of the phase fluctuations at each node during flow pattern transition, which is then quantified by introducing the topological index of the complex network. The proposed analysis method using the WMS not only provides three-dimensional visualizations of the gas-liquid two-phase flow, but is also a thorough analysis for the structure of flow patterns and the characteristics of flow pattern transition. This article is part of the themed issue 'Supersensing through industrial process tomography'.

Velocity bias in intrusive gas-liquid flow measurements.

Project description:Gas-liquid flows occur in many natural environments such as breaking waves, river rapids and human-made systems, including nuclear reactors and water treatment or conveyance infrastructure. Such two-phase flows are commonly investigated using phase-detection intrusive probes, yielding velocities that are considered to be directly representative of bubble velocities. Using different state-of-the-art instruments and analysis algorithms, we show that bubble-probe interactions lead to an underestimation of the real bubble velocity due to surface tension. To overcome this velocity bias, a correction method is formulated based on a force balance on the bubble. The proposed methodology allows to assess the bubble-probe interaction bias for various types of gas-liquid flows and to recover the undisturbed real bubble velocity. We show that the velocity bias is strong in laboratory scale investigations and therefore may affect the extrapolation of results to full scale. The correction method increases the accuracy of bubble velocity estimations, thereby enabling a deeper understanding of fundamental gas-liquid flow processes.

Physical Experiment and Numerical Simulation of the Depressurization Rate for Coalbed Methane Production.

Project description:The influence of the depressurization rate on coalbed methane desorption and percolation was studied using physical experiment and numerical simulation. First, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance technology provided a new approach to conduct desorption experiments with different depressurization schemes and obtain the compressibility (C f) of coal samples. Then, the productivity calculation of different depressurization schemes was carried out via numerical simulation. The results showed that the first-slow-then-fast (FSTF) depressurization scheme had the highest desorption efficiency (94%), followed by one-stop desorption (85%), first-fast-then-slow desorption (79%), and uniform depressurization desorption (61%). T 2 cutoff values and the corresponding compressibility were obtained by the saturation-centrifugation method and spectral morphology method, and a high-precision permeability expression for dynamic evaluation of numerical simulation was established by the historical production data fitting approach. Through numerical simulation, high production efficiency can be achieved using depressurization rates of medium (15 kPa/d) and FSTF schemes (8 & 50 kPa/d), and depressurization funnel expansion in the single-phase water flow stage plays a decisive role in stable and high-yield production in the later stage. Thus, the FSTF pressure reduction strategy could be advocated to promote gas production. Slow depressurization should be applied in ineffective desorption and the slow desorption stage for saturated coal seam or single-phase flow stage for undersaturated coal seam, given the higher single-phase water permeability. During the rapid and sensitive desorption stage, rapid depressurization is recommended because of large desorption capacity and low water phase permeability. This paper provides a possibility for the optimization of coalbed methane field production management.

Direct Numerical Simulation of Fluid Flow and Mass Transfer in Particle Clusters.

Project description:In this paper, an efficient ghost-cell based immersed boundary method is applied to perform direct numerical simulation (DNS) of mass transfer problems in particle clusters. To be specific, a nine-sphere cuboid cluster and a random-generated spherical cluster consisting of 100 spheres are studied. In both cases, the cluster is composed of active catalysts and inert particles, and the mutual influence of particles on their mass transfer performance is studied. To simulate active catalysts the Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed at the external surface of spheres, while the zero-flux Neumann boundary condition is applied for inert particles. Through our studies, clustering is found to have negative influence on the mass transfer performance, which can be then improved by dilution with inert particles and higher Reynolds numbers. The distribution of active/inert particles may lead to large variations of the cluster mass transfer performance, and individual particle deep inside the cluster may possess a high Sherwood number.

Direct Numerical Simulation of Cellular-Scale Blood Flow in 3D Microvascular Networks.

Project description:We present, to our knowledge, the first direct numerical simulation of 3D cellular-scale blood flow in physiologically realistic microvascular networks. The vascular networks are designed following in vivo images and data, and are comprised of bifurcating, merging, and winding vessels. Our model resolves the large deformation and dynamics of each individual red blood cell flowing through the networks with high fidelity, while simultaneously retaining the highly complex geometric details of the vascular architecture. To our knowledge, our simulations predict several novel and unexpected phenomena. We show that heterogeneity in hemodynamic quantities, which is a hallmark of microvascular blood flow, appears both in space and time, and that the temporal heterogeneity is more severe than its spatial counterpart. The cells are observed to frequently jam at vascular bifurcations resulting in reductions in hematocrit and flow rate in the daughter and mother vessels. We find that red blood cell jamming at vascular bifurcations results in several orders-of-magnitude increase in hemodynamic resistance, and thus provides an additional mechanism of increased in vivo blood viscosity as compared to that determined in vitro. A striking result from our simulations is negative pressure-flow correlations observed in several vessels, implying a significant deviation from Poiseuille's law. Furthermore, negative correlations between vascular resistance and hematocrit are observed in various vessels, also defying a major principle of particulate suspension flow. To our knowledge, these novel findings are absent in blood flow in straight tubes, and they underscore the importance of considering realistic physiological geometry and resolved cellular interactions in modeling microvascular hemodynamics.

Numerical simulation of spatiotemporal red blood cell aggregation under sinusoidal pulsatile flow.

Project description:Previous studies on red blood cell (RBC) aggregation have elucidated the inverse relationship between shear rate and RBC aggregation under Poiseuille flow. However, the local parabolic rouleaux pattern in the arterial flow observed in ultrasonic imaging cannot be explained by shear rate alone. A quantitative approach is required to analyze the spatiotemporal variation in arterial pulsatile flow and the resulting RBC aggregation. In this work, a 2D RBC model was used to simulate RBC motion driven by interactional and hydrodynamic forces based on the depletion theory of the RBC mechanism. We focused on the interaction between the spatial distribution of shear rate and the dynamic motion of RBC aggregation under sinusoidal pulsatile flow. We introduced two components of shear rate, namely, the radial and axial shear rates, to understand the effect of sinusoidal pulsatile flow on RBC aggregation. The simulation results demonstrated that specific ranges of the axial shear rate and its ratio with radial shear rate strongly affected local RBC aggregation and parabolic rouleaux formation. These findings are important, as they indicate that the spatiotemporal variation in shear rate has a crucial role in the aggregate formation and local parabolic rouleaux under pulsatile flow.

Numerical and Experiment Analysis of Sapphire Sandwich-Structure Fabry-Perot Pressure Sensor through Fast Fourier Transform and Mean Square Error Demodulation Algorithm.

Project description:Pressure sensors prepared from sapphire exhibit excellent characteristics, including high-temperature resistance, high hardness, and resistance to electromagnetic interference. A Fast Fourier Transform and Mean Square Error (FFT-MSE) demodulation algorithm was employed to demodulate a sapphire sandwich-structure Fabry-Perot (F-P) pressure sensor. Through simulation analysis, the experimental results indicated that the demodulation error of the air cavity length in the range of 206 μm to 216 μm was less than 0.0008%. Compared to single demodulation methods and combined demodulation methods based on FFT or Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE), the method proposed in this work reduced the demodulation error by more than three times and increased accuracy by more than six times. The algorithm was utilized to demodulate the sapphire sandwich-structure F-P pressure sensor, and the test results indicated that the fitting error of the sensor was less than 0.025% within the pressure range of 0 MPa to 10 MPa. The repeatability error was less than 0.066%, the zero-point deviation was 1.26%, and the maximum stability deviation was 0.0063% per 30 min. The algorithm effectively demodulated the actual cavity length variation in the sapphire sandwich-structure F-P pressure sensor, providing a solution for the performance evaluation of the sapphire sandwich-structure F-P pressure sensor.
