Description
Description
The present problem simulates the Slug Flow in a pipe using ANSYS Fluent software. We perform this CFD project and investigate it by CFD analysis.
In fluid mechanics, slug flow in liquid-gas two-phase flow is a type of flow pattern.
The present model is designed in three dimensions using the Design Modeler software. The model consists of a bent pipe in which air and water flow.
The meshing of the model was done using ANSYS Meshing software. The element number is equal to 1148302.
Also, due to the nature of the present problem, the transient solver has been enabled.
Slug Flow Methodology
Slug flow is a multiphase-flow regime in tubes in which most of the lighter fluid is contained in large bubbles dispersed within and pushing along the heavier fluid. The word slug refers typically to the more severe and slower-moving fluid but sometimes to the bubbles of lighter fluid.
There are also tiny bubbles within the liquid, but many coalesced to form large bubbles until they span much of the pipe. In gas-liquid mixtures, slug flow is similar to plug flow, but the bubbles are generally more giant and faster.
The Eulerian multiphase model has been used. The mixture enters the domain with a velocity of 0.6 m/s with gravity considered -9.81 m/s2 on the y-axis.
Slug Flow Conclusion
At the end of the solution process, three-dimensional velocity, air and water volume fraction, and animation are obtained. This 3-D simulation starts with a pipe filled with air and water as a mixture.
As time passes, air bubbles join together and make slugs because of the lower air density than water. The air slug moves up the surface of the pipe and continues to move forward the outlet.

Mr. Darien Sporer –
Could you provide more details on the difference between slug flow and plug flow as it pertains to the simulation?
MR CFD Support –
In the context of the simulation, slug flow can be distinguished from plug flow primarily by the larger size of the gas bubbles and the more severe nature of the flow pattern. In slug flow, gas slugs encapsulate a larger volume and can greatly affect the liquid flow dynamics, whereas in plug flow, the gas bubbles are typically smaller and more uniformly distributed, creating a more stable and less intermittent flow regime.
