| Research Abstract |
The experiments were conducted for the upward water flow in a vertical pipe with falling immiscible droplets of hydrofluoroether (HFE-7200) or perfluorocarbon (FC-72). The visualization of velocity field and temperature field and image processing were carried out.
(1) The HFE-7200 droplets fall with noticeable wobbling in the near-wall region of the turbulent upward water flow. On the other hand, the droplets whose specific weight is higher than that of hFE-7200 fall with small-amplitude wobbling in the central region. The increases in the turbulence intensities and the decrease in the mean velocity are measured in the region of droplet passing. The vortices in the wake flow of the droplets cause the change in the turbulence statistics. The outward or wallward flow induced by the flow of HFE-7200 droplets affects the near-wall coherent structure.
(2) The Strouhal number for the droplet motion can be estimated from the empirical of rising bubbles. This Strouhal number is lower than the St

rouhal number of vortex shedding from a solid sphere.
(3) The circular fluid motion was observed in the wake flow region. This motion is considered to be the cross sections of the unsteady Ω-shaped vortex tube. The thermal wake region is smaller than the area of passing the Ω-shaped vortex tube in the wake flow. This is because the Prandtl number is high and because high-temperature fluid outside the tube was carried into the wake flow region surrounded by vortex tube.
(4) The high velocity flow in the wall jet between the funnel and the pipe inner wall decelerated the droplet falling velocity. The droplet was easily transported in the central region by the wall-normal fluctuating velocity generated by the tripping wire. The funnel and tripping wire allocated near the bottom of the test section worked well for collecting all the descent droplets.
The direct numerical simulation was carried out for turbulent upward flow between two heating walls with four immiscible droplets. The main conclusions obtained are as follows.
(1) The droplet induced several types of secondary flows. These flows increased the Reynolds shear stress product. These flows were attenuated by the adjacent in the streamwise direction. The small-scale streamwise vortices were attenuated near the droplets. The large-scale developed streamwise vortices were deformed by the droplets.
(2) The product of wall-normal velocity fluctuation and the temperature fluctuation increased by the secondary flows. This shows an enhancement of turbulent heat transfer by droplets. Less
