Abstract
The fluid flow is not only the single phase but often obtained also
multiphase flow. One of multiphase flow is a two-phase flow. On two-phase flow
potentially forming a variety of flow pattern caused a lot of things. Therefore
necessary the proper calculations to avoid bad things happen. One of the method
the flow is research by the computing system or commonly known as the term
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). CFD is very suitable for an analysis of a
complex and difficult system to solve with manual calculation.
In this research to know the phenomena of flow pattern in a two-phase flow
in a horizontal capillary pipe by numerical simulation using software ANSYS
Fluent 19.0 academic. The simulation was carried out on the 2-dimensional
horizontal capillary pipe with a diameter of 1.6 mm and a length of 100 mm. The
fluid using an air-water mixture and glycerin 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% with the
variation liquid superficial velocity (JL) = 0.033 m/s – 4.935 m/s and gas superficial
velocity (JG) = 9.62 m/s.
The results of the simulations showed a flow pattern that emerges from all
of the variations is a slug-annular flow pattern and churn flow pattern. On the slugannular
flow pattern, viscosity effected on the abundance of liquid that clings to the
walls of the pipe, the more viscous the liquid viscosity, resulting in more and more
stuck in the pipe wall.
