Outline of Final Research Achievements

Experiments on bubbly flows in slurry bubble columns were carried out to develop a numerical method of flows in high gas-volume-fraction slurry bubble columns for supporting scale up of bubble columns from a pilot to a commercial scale. The gas volume fraction was measured under various flow conditions and a volume fraction correlation applicable to the conditions was developed. The experiments also reveled that the available drag correlations are not applicable to huge bubbles flowing in the slurry bubble columns. Experiments on pseudo-two-dimensional bubbles in slurry were therefore conducted to investigate the effects of the presence of slurry on the drag coefficient and a drag model was developed based on the experimental results. The knowledge obtained from the experiments were taken into account in our numerical method for bubbly flows in slurry bubble columns.
