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.
Experimental investigation of waveform tip injection on the characteristics of the tip vortex Ostovan, Yashar; Uzol, Oğuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011) This study investigates the effect of chordwisely modulated tip injection on the flow and turbulence characteristics of the tip vortex through experimental measurements downstream of a rectangular half-wing that has an aspect ratio of three. This injection technique involves spanwise jets at the tip that are issued from a series of holes along the chord line normal to the freestream flow direction. The injection mass flow rate from each hole is individually controlled using computer driven solenoid valves a...
Implementation and comparison of turbulence models on a flat plate problem using a Navier-Stokes solver Genç, Balkan Ziya; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) For turbulent flow calculations, some of the well-known turbulence models in the literature are applied on a previously developed Navier-Stokes solver designed to handle laminar flows. A finite volume formulation, which is cell-based for inviscid terms and cell-vertex for viscous terms, is used for numerical discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations in conservative form. This formulation is combined with one-step, explicit time marching Lax-Wendroff numerical scheme that is second order accurate in spac...
Numerical Simulation of Rarefied Laminar Flow past a Circular Cylinder Çelenligil, Mehmet Cevdet (2014-07-18) Numerical simulations have been obtained for two-dimensional laminar flows past a circular cylinder in the transitional regime. Computations are performed using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method for Knudsen numbers of 0.02 and 0.2 and Mach numbers of 0.102 and 0.4. For these conditions, Reynolds number ranges from 0.626 to 24.63 and the flows are steady. Results show that separation occurs in the wake region for the flow with Mach number of 0.4 and Knudsen number of 0.02, but for the other eases flow...
An experimental investigation on performance of annular fins on a horizontal cylinder in free convection heat transfer Yildiz, S; Yüncü, Hafit (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-02-01) Natural convection heat transfer in annular fin-arrays mounted on a horizontal cylinder was experimentally investigated. An experimental set-up was constructed to investigate heat transfer characteristics of 18 sets of annular fin-arrays mounted on a horizontal cylinder of 24.9-mm diameter in atmospheric conditions. Keeping the fin thickness fixed at 1 mm, fin diameter is varied from 35 mm to 125 mm and fin spacing is varied from 3.6 mm to 31.7 mm. The base-to-ambient temperature difference was also varied ...
