CFD Modeling of Gas-Liquid Bubbly Flow in Horizontal Pipes: Influence of Bubble Coalescence and Breakup
Figure 3
Comparison of predicted and experimental data of Kocamustafaogullari and Wang [17] for superficial gas velocity of 0.25 m/s, superficial liquid velocity of 5.1 m/s, and volume fraction 0.043: (a) gas volume fraction, (b) interfacial area concentration, (c) Sauter mean bubble diameter, and (d) axial liquid velocity.
