A continuum mechanics derivation of the empirical expression relating slug and particle velocities

O. Orozovic et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that slugs are fluidised under certain conditions, rather than being compact structures. The authors inferred the slope of the linear relationship between slug and particle velocity is the density ratio. Further analysis implies that the fluidised state of slugs is a requirement for slug flow.

An assessment of steady-state conditions in single slug horizontal pneumatic conveying

A. Lavrinec et al.

Summary: This study utilized a 3D coupled CFD-DEM model to investigate the tendency of slugs towards steady state in single slug horizontal pneumatic conveying. Theoretical derivation confirmed that slugs move towards steady state lengths exponentially, and a characteristic time scale was calculated to measure this tendency. The theoretical estimate showed good agreement with simulated results and a link between steady slug length and solids loading ratio was established.

Inertial measurement unit as a tool within dense phase pneumatic conveying. Investigation into velocity measurement accuracy, pressure and velocity relationships in slug flow

A. Lavrinec et al.

Summary: This study used an inertial measurement unit to investigate dynamic relationships in horizontal slug flow pneumatic conveying. It found that particles propagate backwards through a slug relatively constantly and observed a pressure-velocity relationship theorized to be related to variations in the stationary layer ahead of the slugs. The study also demonstrated the IMU's capability in capturing nuanced features of slug motion.

Review and analysis of solids friction factor correlations in fluidized dense phase conveying

J. S. Shijo et al.

Summary: This study compares different solid friction factor correlations for fluidized dense phase conveying available in the literature, and finds that only a few correlations exhibit natural pressure drop variation with changes in pipeline length or diameter.
