Abstract
The gas–liquid two-phase flow inside large aspect ratio lifting pipes is often characterized by a complex flow pattern, potentially causing coupling vibration of the lifting pipe. And produce a surge effect, aggravating the vibration of the lifting pipe and thus affecting its fatigue life and the lifting performance of the pipe. In this paper, a combination of numerical simulation and experiment is used to investigate the effects of inlet flow rate (Q) and tube diameter (D) on the vibration and lifting performance of the lifting tube. The obtained conclusions are as follows: with an increase in the inlet gas flow rate, the amplitude of the lifting pipe increases, and the lifting flow increases; with an increase in pipe diameter, the amplitude of the lifting pipe decreases and the overall lifting performance increases. According to the numerical simulation and experimental results, when D = 40 mm lifting pipe at the intake flow between Q = 50-60 L/min, the impact of surge effect is the least, and the liquid lifting quality also reaches the best state at this time, The research presented in this paper provides a reference for the selection of parameters for lifting pipes in engineering applications.
