Three-dimensional numerical computation of gas-liquid two-phase flow under pseudo microgravity environment using a superconducting electromagnet

摘要

By using the strong magnetic field generated by a superconducting electromagnet, theoretically it is possible to produce the pseudo microgravity environment on the ground. The final goal of this research is to obtain knowledge of fluid control under a strong magnetic field using a superconducting electromagnet. In this study, in order to examine a method for accurate CFD analysis, we carried out computation for a gas-liquid two-phase fluid flow under a strong magnetic field and compared with the corresponding experiment. As a result, we succeeded in investigating a method for analyzing a gas-liquid two-phase fluid in a strong magnetic field on a real scale.
