The Hydrodynamics, phase distribution and turbulent structure of twophase air-water flow in a 57.15 mm diameter and 3.06 m length vertical pipe was modeled by using the 3-D Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase flow approach. Void fraction, liquid velocity and turbulent fluctuations profiles were calculated and compared against experimental data. CFD results are in good agreement with experimental data.}, journal = {International Journal of Chemical and Molecular Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {1}, year = {2011}, pages = {84 - 88}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/12711}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/49}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 49, 2011}, }
