Abstract: Fluctuating force induced by horizontal gas–liquid twophase flow on 90 deg pipe bend at atmospheric pressure condition is considered. Analysis was conducted to develop a model which is capable of predicting the peak ...

Abstract: Wall nucleation experiments have been performed in a vertical annulus test section for investigation of the bubble departure diameter and bubble departure frequency. The experimental data in forced convective subcooled ...

Abstract: An accurate and practical approach is necessary for predicting oil fraction in horizontal oil–water flows. In this study, a concept of a drift-flux model is adopted to develop a predictive method for the oil fraction in ...

Abstract: In order to investigate the possible effect of seismic vibration on twophase flow dynamics and thermalhydraulics of a nuclear reactor, experimental tests of adiabatic airwater twophase flow under lowfrequency vibration ...

Abstract: A new interpretation of the characteristic area and frequency appearing in the wall nucleation source from the point of view of the stochastic nature of this phenomenon is presented in this paper. This analysis shows ...

Abstract: In order to study the twophase flow behaviors of a horizontal bubble plume in a tank, experimental tests along with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were carried out in this paper. An experimental facility ...
