Note générale : fluids engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : flow  (dynamics);  annulus Résumé : This study has investigated the axial development of flow regime of adiabatic upward air-water two-phase flow in a vertical annulus. The inner and outer diameters of the annulus are 19.1 mm and 38.1 mm, respectively. The hydraulic diameter of the flow channel, DH, is 19.0 mm and the total length is 4.37 m. The flow regime map includes 72 flow conditions within a range of 0.01 m/s<⟨jg⟩<30 m/s and 0.2 m/s<⟨jf⟩<3.5 m/s, where ⟨jg⟩ and ⟨jf⟩ are, respectively, superficial gas and liquid velocities. The flow regime has been classified into four categories: bubbly, cap-slug, churn, and annular flows. In order to study the axial development of flow regime, area-averaged void fraction measurements have been performed using impedance void meters at three axial positions corresponding to z/DH=52, 149, and 230 simultaneously, where z represents the axial position. The flow regime indicator has been chosen to be statistical parameters from the probability distribution function of the area-averaged void fraction signals from the impedance meters, and self-organized neural networks have been used as the mapping system. This information has been used to analyze the axial development of flow regime as well as to check the predictions given by the existing flow regime transition models. The axial development of flow regime is quantified using the superficial gas velocity and void fraction values where the flow regime transition takes place. The predictions of the models are compared for each flow regime transition. In the current test conditions, the axial development of flow regime occurs in the bubbly to cap-slug (low superficial liquid velocities) and cap-slug to churn (high superficial liquid velocities) flow regime transition zones.
