Determination of the formation model of the phase concentration field along the section of the turbulent flow of hydrotransport using information technologies

The problem of increasing the reliability and durability of hydrotransport facilities is one of the most important national economic tasks. The formation of the concentration field of the second dispersed phase, which is nonuniform over the cross section, is studied by the turbulent stationary motion of the mixture in a horizontal cylindrical pipe and the transporting ability of the flow is estimated. The article proposed a mathematical model and a method for calculating the concentration field of solid particles along the depth of the flow using information technologies, where the formation of the concentration field is first determined through the size of solid particles when a two-phase mixture moves in a horizontal cylindrical pipe. Also, in this model of mixture motion, the coefficient of the force of interaction between the phases is determined depending on the concentration distribution. The problem is solved by a numerical method using the integrated system for mathematical calculations MathCAD. Investigating the numerical results of the problem, the nature of the formation of the concentration field at various values of the saturation of the flow with solid particles and which makes it possible to estimate the size of these particles taking into account the turbulence of the flow. The implementation of the developed mathematical models and recommendations will make it possible to predict the transporting ability of a two-phase flow in pressure systems, and help to find solutions for spatial hydrotransportation and irrigation and drainage systems.
