Influence of the void fraction profile on the distribution parameter C_0 for a bubbly gas-liquid flow in a horizontal round pipe

摘要

This paper presents the results of a numerical experiment on the influence of the void fraction profile on the distribution parameter C_0 in a horizontal bubbly two-phase flow. It was shown that for non-symmetric void fraction profiles, which occur normally in horizontal flows, the distribution parameter may be less than 1. In this case, the ratio of the volumetric flow quality β to the average void fraction <α> can also be less than11.
