| Abstract: | The trajectory model of dispersed phase drops and distribution model of drop diameters were derived. By numerical simulation,
the analytical results indicate that a large number of dispersed phase drops accumulate on the upper plate in different directions
and form a hydrodynamic area with the stream-wise location in the range of 0–0.4 m, where the flow of trickling film obtains
kinetic drive from flowing field. The flowing field of trickling film exhibits an unstable state if the stream-wise location
is less than 0.02 m, and a stable state otherwise. Moreover, different velocity vectors of drops in the x-y plane result in different interactions between the trickling film and drops. For the non-uniform distribution of drop diameters,
there is a stronger interaction between the trickling film and drop if the stream-wise location is less than 0.02 m, because
the amplitudes of velocity vectors are higher than those in the range of 0.02–1.0 m. The result reveals a complexity and diversity
of stratified two-phase flowing field. On the other hand, both the basic flowing field and distributions of drop diameters
have a great influence on the distributions of comparable kinetic energy of drops. The complicated motions of larger drops
are helpful to coalescence because they will consume much more kinetic energy on the trickling film than those of smaller
drops. The change of comparable kinetic energy of smaller drops is continuous and steady. The smaller drops are easily entrained
by the liquid-liquid flowing field. |
