Abstract

The present work is a theoretical investigation of two-phase bubbly flows. The main objective is to get a better insight of the basic phenomena associated with such flows through nozzles via physical modeling and mathematical formulation. Introducing Mach number into the flow equations, we find novel, closed-form analytical solutions and expressions for homogeneous bubbly flows including the influence of wall friction and mass addition. The expressions obtained demonstrate an analogy to those of classical, single-phase gas flows. The study deals with homogeneous flows, however, its approach and results can also be applied to investigate flows with unequal phase velocities, to study instability phenomena, as well as to design and analyze water jet propulsion systems.
