Improved one-dimensional (1D) models-compared to previous work by the authors-are proposed which are able to predict the velocity, length, and position of the liquid column in the rapid emptying and filling of a pipeline. The models include driving pressure and gravity, skin friction and local drag, and holdup at the tail and gas intrusion at the front of the liquid column. Analytical and numerical results are validated against each other, and against experimental data from a large-scale laboratory setup.

An Improved One-Dimensional Model for Liquid Slugs Traveling in Pipelines TIJSSELING, Arris S.; Hou, Qingzhi; Bozkuş, Zafer (2016-02-01) An improved one-dimensional (1D) model-compared to previous work by the authors-is proposed, which is able to predict the acceleration and shortening of a single liquid slug propagating in a straight pipe with a downstream bend. The model includes holdup at the slug's tail and flow separation at the bend. The obtained analytical and numerical results are validated against experimental data. The effects of holdup, driving pressure and slug length are examined in a parameter variation study.
AN IMPROVED 1D MODEL FOR LIQUID SLUGS TRAVELLING IN PIPELINES Tijsseling, Arris S.; Hou, Qingzhi; Bozkuş, Zafer (2014-07-24) An improved one-dimensional (1D) model - compared to previous work by the authors - is proposed which is able to predict the acceleration and shortening of a single liquid slug propagating in a straight pipe with a downstream bend. The model includes holdup at the slug's tail and flow separation at the bend. The obtained analytical and numerical results are validated against experimental data. The effects of the improvement and of holdup are examined in a parameter variation study.
Online viscosity measurement of complex solutions using ultrasound Doppler velocimetry Koseli, Volkan; Zeybek, Serife; Uludağ, Yusuf (2006-01-01) A new method to measure the viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids over a wide range of shear rates in a short period of time is presented. The technique is based on the measurement of the velocity profile in a pipe flow using ultrasound Doppler velocimetry (UDV), which is a non-invasive method, and simultaneously determining the pressure drop. The velocity profile is used to obtain shear rate distribution, while the pressure drop is used to calculate the shear stress distribution. By taking the ratio of these q...
A novel cfd code based on method of lines for reacting flows: Verification on methane/air diffusion flame Tarhan, Tanil; Selçuk, Nevin (2007-01-01) A novel parallel computational fluid dynamic (CFD) code based on method of lines (MOL) approach was developed for the numerical simulation of multi-component reacting flows using detailed transport and thermodynamic models. The code was applied to the prediction of a confined axi-symmetric laminar co-flowing methane-air diffusion flame for which experimental data were available in the literature. 1-, 5- and 10-step reduced finite-rate reaction mechanisms were employed for methane-air combustion sub-model. S...
High-speed jet flows over spillway aerators Kokpinar, MA; Göğüş, Mustafa (2002-12-01) The characteristics of high-speed air-entrained jet flow over a spillway aerator were investigated using experimental data. Three different ramp designs (as well as the case of no ramp) were tested in a channel where the bed slope was adjusted to 0, 0.17, and 0.57, respectively. The effects of aerator geometry and flow condition on the air-entrainment process within the water jet and on the pressure fluctuations in the impact region are the main focus of the investigation. An extensive data analysis was per...
