Abstract:

Accurate prediction of void fraction of gas-liquid two-phase flow under undulating vibration is of great significance to the safe and stable operation of floating nuclear power plants. The void fraction characteristics of gas-liquid two-phase flow in vertical riser under different vibration and flow conditions were studied experimentally. The results show that the fluctuation vibration has a significant effect on the void fraction in bubbly flow, however it has a weak effect on slug flow, churn flow and annular flow. Generally speaking, the undulating vibration leads to an increase in the void fraction of the bubbly flow and a decrease in the void fraction of the other three flow patterns. The void fraction calculation model in static pipeline is evaluated. It is found that the existing void fraction calculation model is suitable for the calculation of void fraction under fluctuating vibration, but the prediction error of void fraction under bubbly flow and slug flow is relatively large. Considering the influence of vibration, the Froude number of liquid phase is introduced, and the calculation formula of void fraction considering flow pattern is established, which significantly improves the prediction accuracy of void fraction under fluctuating vibration.

Key words: gas-liquid two-phase flow, fluctuating vibration, riser, void fraction, computational model

摘要:

起伏振动下气液两相流含气率的准确预测对漂浮核电站的安全稳定运行有重要意义。实验研究了不同振动和流动工况下垂直上升管气液两相流的含气率特性。结果表明,起伏振动对泡状流下的含气率影响比较明显,对弹状流、搅混流和环状流的影响较弱。整体来看,起伏振动导致泡状流的含气率增加,其他三种流型下的含气率减小。对静止管道内常用的含气率计算模型进行评价,发现现有含气率计算模型比较适用于起伏振动下含气率的计算,但对泡状流和弹状流下含气率的预测误差较大。考虑振动的影响,引入了液相Froude数,建立了考虑流型的含气率计算关系式,显著提高了起伏振动下含气率的预测准确度。
