Computational fluid dynamics X-ray radiography Vapor flow Structured packing |
Résumé : |
This research developed an experimental method for validating the CFD representation of single-phase (vapor) flow through structured packing. Real time X-ray radiography was used to visualize fluid streamlines in structured packing by tracking neutrally buoyant X-ray absorbing particles entrained in water flow. Flow through the packing was found to be uniform, whereas flow at the packing element joints exhibited chaotic flow and recirculation zones. Individual radiographs were analyzed to determine particle displacement and compute local velocities. This data could be used to validate existing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models, including fluids other than water through the use of similarity theory. |
