The experimental results indicate that semisolid feedstock with ideal microstructures can be obtained at higher temperatures 645℃ and above by the proposed process, and the solid shell inside the pipe can be avoided at the optimum pouring temperature. Thus the process is attractive for industrial applications. The slanted angle of inclined section has an influence on the optimum pouring temperature. That is, the bigger the slanted angle, the higher the optimum pouring temperature, but accordingly, the greater the possibility of solid shell occurring inside the pipe. Therefore, small slanted angle should be considered first on the premise of ensuring a certain nucleation. The formation of semisolid feedstock is owed to the coactions of wall nucleation and stirring resulting from fluid flow. The inclined section greatly affects nucleation, and the vertical section has an important effect on both nucleation and generating stirring.展开更多

The results show that when the drag force between twophasesdepends linearly on their relative velocity, the relative velocity profile in the pipeline coincides with Darcy's law except for the thin layer region near the pipeline wall, and that the theoretical assumptions in the dense two-phase flow theory mentioned are reasonable.展开更多

The model equations are volume-averaged Navier-Stokes equations that require closure models for interfacial forces and bubble-induced turbulence effects. Two-equation SST and k-epsilon RANS turbulence models were also used. A parametric study of closure models included both standard options in CFX and previously published novel closure models that were implemented with user-defined functions. The CFD simulations were compared with two cases from the MTLoop experiments by Lucas<em> et al.</em> at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf: one with wall-peak void fraction profile (MT039), and another with a core-peak void fraction profile (MT118). The effect of changing the drag force closures was not significant for the set examined. Poor predictions were found when the lift force and wall lubrication models were incompatible in magnitude. There was no significant effect of changing the liquid phase turbulence model. Changing the bubble-induced turbulence models, however, had a significant impact on the radial void fraction profile. The novel wall force from Lubchenko<em> et al.</em> at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology significantly improved the prediction of the near wall void fraction in the wall peak profile.展开更多
