Abstract
Applicability of a theoretical model, based on the fundamental governing equations of fluid motion is investigated to predict two-phase bubbly air-water flow structure through vertical columns. The model predictions are compared to experimental data for a wide range of flow parameters. The relative importance of various modes of interfacial momentum transfer, under different flow conditions, is also examined. It is found that correct estimation of the interfacial momentum transfer is necessary for agreement between the predictions and experimental data. The present study shows that the flow structure for air-water flows through vertical columns depends on the inlet flow conditions. This model predicts the experimentally observed trends well. In most cases the experimental data of local liquid velocity and gas volume fraction agree well with the calculated values.
