Abstract
The pipeline system is widely used in marine engineering, and the formation mechanism and flow patterns of two-phase slug flows are of great significance for the optimal design of and vibration prevention in a complex pipeline system. Aiming at the above problems, this paper proposes a modeling and solving method for gas-liquid slug flows. First, a VOF-PLIC-based coupling gas-liquid slug flow transport model is conducted. Second, to reduce the fuzzy boundary between the gas-liquid coupling interfaces, an artificial compression term is added to the transport equations, and the formation and evolution mechanism of severe slugging flow in piping systems is investigated. The pressure pulsation and gas content characteristics of the gas-liquid coupling process are explored. Research results found that the slugging phenomenon occurs at the gas-liquid interface, where liquid slugging frequency reaches its peak. The pipeline system has prominent periodic characteristics of the slugging phenomenon, and the period decreases when the gas-phase converted speed rises; pressure fluctuation amplitude increases, and the gas-phase velocity change is the inducing factor for the drastic change of pressure fluctuation. The research results can offer theoretical references for optimal designs of and vibration prevention in marine pipeline systems.
