β¦ Synopsis
A fully three-dimensional numerical procedure based on the two-fluid model in a general curvilinear co-ordinate system is proposed for the prediction of developing turbulent bubbly two-phase flow in a rotating complicated duct. A Coriolis-modified turbulence model is extended to two-phase flows to account for the rotational effect on the lateral phase distribution. The governing equations are solved using a finite volume technique with a non-staggered variable arrangement. Comparisons of the predictions with measured pressure and void fractions show good agreement.

This study accurately predicts the cases of turbulent flow around a surface-mounted two-dimensional rib with varying lengths. The numerical method employs a differencing scheme for integrating the elliptic Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the continuity equation. A two-equation k-m turb
