RR-7 Assessment of Lattice Boltzmann Method for Simulating Thermal Hydraulic Phenomena
April 24, 2025
Modeling and simulation of some complex heat transfer processes require research and development beyond current HTRI capabilities. Conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools offer a continuum macroscopic modeling approach which may be difficult to implement without knowledge of the relevant physical models. However, the lattice Boltzmann method captures the intricacies of more complicated...

Two-phase flow in air-cooled heat exchangers
June 10, 2020
Brandon White, Test Engineer Air-cooled heat exchangers are one of the most widely used types of heat exchangers. At times, they can experience two-phase flow separation and flow maldistribution inside their header boxes, potentially reducing process heat transfer. At HTRI’s Research & Technology Center, we are currently working on a project...

Educational: Introduction to Two-phase Flow
December 04, 2018
Boiling, condensation, and multi-phase flows exist in many heat exchanger applications. This webinar describes the basic ideas used in heat transfer and pressure drop calculations of two-phase flow. It discusses theoretical and empirical models, a flow regime-based approach, and an overview of experimental research in the field....
