Multiscale simulations of porous media flows in flow-based coordinate system [PDF]
In this paper, we propose a multiscale technique for the simulation of porous media flows in a flow-based coordinate system. A flow-based coordinate system allows us to simplify the scale interaction and derive the upscaled equations for purely ...

Measurement and control systems for an imaging electromagnetic flow meter [PDF]
Electromagnetic flow metres based on the principles of Faraday's laws of induction have been used successfully in many industries. The conventional electromagnetic flow metre can measure the mean liquid velocity in axisymmetric single phase flows ...

Turbulent bubbly flow in pipe under gravity and microgravity conditions [PDF]
Experiments on vertical turbulent flow with millimetric bubbles, under three gravity conditions, upward, downward and microgravity flows (1g, -1g and 0g), have been performed to understand the influence of gravity upon the flow structure and the phase ...

Transition and self-sustained turbulence in dilute suspensions of finite-size particles [PDF]
We study the transition to turbulence of channel flow of finite-size particle suspensions at low volume fraction, i.e. $\Phi \approx 0.001$. The critical Reynolds number above which turbulence is sustained reduces to $Re \approx 1675$, in the presence of

Benchmarks for single-phase flow in fractured porous media [PDF]
This paper presents several test cases intended to be benchmarks for numerical schemes for single-phase fluid flow in fractured porous media. A number of solution strategies are compared, including a vertex and a cell-centered finite volume method, a non-conforming embedded discrete fracture model, a primal and a dual extended finite element ...

Power quality improvements through power electronic interfaced distributed generation [PDF]
In low-voltage distribution networks a large amount of single-phase nonlinear loads are connected. This leads to the combined presence of power system unbalance and harmonic distortion.

Wetting and coalescence: beyond single-phase flows [PDF]
Multi-phase wetting and coalescence are ubiquitous in nature and technology alike. In particular, a good understanding of wetting and coalescence is crucial for the successful application of inkjet printing technology and for its future development towards, e.g., additive manufacturing.

Comparison between three static mixers for emulsification in turbulent flow [PDF]
This paper deals with comparing performances of three different static mixers in terms of pressure drop generated by both single-phase flow and liquid–liquid flow in turbulent flow regime and in terms of emulsification performances.

A two-pressure model for slightly compressible single phase flow in bi-structured porous media [PDF]
Problems involving flow in porous media are ubiquitous in many natural and engineered systems. Mathematical modeling of such systems often relies on homogenization of pore-scale equations and macroscale continuum descriptions.

Micro-computed tomography pore-scale study of flow in porous media: Effect of voxel resolution [PDF]
A fundamental understanding of flow in porous media at the pore-scale is necessary to be able to upscale average displacement processes from core to reservoir scale. The study of fluid flow in porous media at the pore-scale consists of two key procedures:
