Bubbles formed during chemical processes in fluidized beds govern the bed hydrodynamics and opera-tional efficiency, thereby having a significant impact on their design and scale-up. In this study, a two-fluid model was used to simulate the bubble behavior in a quasi-two-dimensional fluidized bed within the bubble-based energy minimization multiscale (EMMS) approach. We performed experiments to verify the model and proposed a correlation of the heterogeneous index for various parameters to calculate the coefficient of drag for the bubble-based EMMS model. Moreover, the simulation results obtained from the homogeneous drag models and EMMS bubbling model were compared with experimental data and empirical correlations. The simulation results of the EMMS approach showed good agreement with the experimental data in the distribution of the vertical bubble velocity with chord length. Compared with the results from the homogeneous models, the distributions of vertical velocity and diameter of the bubbles predicted by the EMMS-bubbling model were in better agreement with empirical correlations. Moreover, the frequency distributions of bubble properties including bubble diameter, aspect ratio, and shape factor for different gas-inlet velocities were obtained.

A new concept of a supercritical water (SCW) circulating fiuidized bed reactor is proposed to produce hydrogen from coal/biomass gasification. The cyclone is a key component of the reactor system, in this paper, cyclones with a single circular inlet (SCI) or a double circular inlet (DCI) were designed to adapt to the supercritical conditions. We evaluated the separation performance of the two cyclones using numerical simulations. A three-dimensional Reynolds stress model was used to simulate the turbulent flow of the fluid, and a stochastic Lagrangian model was used to simulate the particle motion. The flow fields of both cyclones were three-dimensionally unsteady and similar to those of traditional gas-solid cyclones. Secondary circulation phenomena were discovered and their influence on particle separation was estimated. Analyzing the distribution of the turbulence kinetic energy revealed that the most intensive turbulence existed in the zone near the vortex finder while the flow in the central part was relatively stable. The particle concentration distribution was non-uniform because of centrifugal forces. The distribution area can be divided into three parts according to the motion of the particles. In addition, the separation efficiency of both cyclones increased with the inlet SCaN velocity. Because of its perturbance flow, the DCI separator had higher separation efficiency than the SCI separator under comparable simulations. However, this was at the expense of a higher pressure drop across the cyclone.

Compound droplets surrounded by a gaseous phase with different temperatures widely exist in industrial applications. Previous research has focused on thermally induced non-coalescence or delayed coalescence between two single-phase droplets or a droplet and a liquid bath. The primary mechanism is the levitated intervening pressure in the lubricating air layer between droplets, which is caused by the thermocapillary convection. In this study, the non-coalescence of two compound droplets in a cold ambient air environment is experimentally investigated. The thermocapillary mechanism manifests three distinct features. First, as the two compound droplets approach each other, the temperature of the contact side of each droplet increases because of reduced heat loss, a phenomenon termed as the contact-side heating effect. This creates a surface temperature gradient, inducing Marangoni stress and subsequent surface convection. Second, owing to the immiscibility of the two phases within each compound droplet, the thermocapillary convection develops independently in each phase, forming independent convection which cannot be observed in single-phase droplets . It was observed that the directions of the thermocapillary convection within the two droplets were correlated and always planar symmetric, which is different from the uncorrelated and opposite convection of two single-phase droplets. Third and most importantly, the thermocapillary convection in the oil phase entrains the air into the lubricating film between droplets, inhibiting their coalescence only when the oil/water interface is adjacent to the contact zone.

During geological CO2storage, gravity segregation due to fluid density differences significantly affects the efficiency and safety of the process. This can result in premature CO2breakthrough, reduced storage efficiency, and increased leakage risks. This study aims to investigate how gas migrates in layered heterogeneous reservoirs over time due to prolonged density differences and to assess the resulting impact on fluid distribution. We use artificially layered heterogeneous sandstone cores for experimentation. After completing gas injection and water flooding experiments, the core was positioned with the low permeability layer (LPL) at the top and the high permeability layer (HPL) at the bottom for an extended period. Because the effects of density differences are not easily discernible during gas–water two-phase flow under typical driving forces, we applied micro-CT imaging technology to visualize and analyze how density differences influence gas flow within the core. The results demonstrate that during the static placement period following displacement, gas clusters exhibit different flow behaviors at the pore throats. Most gas clusters struggle to overcome the Jamin effect and enter into the upper pores; a few large-volume gas clusters, driven by density differences, partially pass through the throats into the upper pores, while the remaining portions are stranded within the throats, leading to a snap-off phenomenon; while some gas clusters successfully overcome the Jamin effect and enter the upper pores in significant numbers. The experimental findings indicate that the LPL effectively hinder the upward migration of the nonwetting phase gases from bottom and fluid density differences significantly influence gas–water distribution changes. This study provides critical insights for optimizing CO2storage and offers a new perspective on fluid behavior in layered heterogeneous reservoirs.
