Abstract :

Gas- solid separation is studied considering a liquid layer in the lower part of a horizontal pipe. The particles falling in liquid layer could not go back in gas flow. The presence of solid particles on stratified wavy gas- liquid flows has been studied. In the present paper, the numerical four- way simulation of solid particles in gas- liquid wavy stratified flow has been used. The computational model is shown to be able to evaluate the effect of the liquid layer on particle separation.
