CFD Modeling of Gas-Liquid Bubbly Flow in Horizontal Pipes: Influence of Bubble Coalescence and Breakup
Figure 7
Comparison of predicted and experimental data of Kocamustafaogullari and Wang [17] for superficial gas velocity of 0.51 m/s, superficial liquid velocity of 3.74 m/s, and volume fraction of 0.105: (a) gas volume fraction, (b) interfacial area concentration, (c) Sauter mean bubble diameter, and (d) axial liquid velocity.
