Experiment and Numerical Simulation of Frictional Resistance in Vertical Helically Coiled Pipe

Article Preview

Abstract:

The frictional resistance of gas-liquid two-phase flow in vertical helically coiled pipe was investigated by means of experiment and numerical simulation. The resistance data in the conditions of different gas-liquid ratio was obtained. A numerical simulation platform was developed based on the heat and mass transfer theory and characteristics of the FLUENT software. Comparing and analyzing the results of experiment and simulation, it indicates that there is good computational accuracy of the numerical simulation platform, and the platform can provide a good support for the design and research of vertical helically coiled pipe.
