description In this study, to develop the predictive technology of two-phase flow dynamics under earthquake acceleration, a detailed two-phase flow simulation code with an advanced interface tracking method TPFIT was expanded to perform two-phase flow simulations under seismic conditions. In the expansion of the TPFIT, the oscillating acceleration attributed to the earthquake motion was introduced into the momentum equation of the two-phase flow as body force. Moreover, to simulate fluctuation of the flow rate and a shear force on a pipe wall, time dependent boundary conditions can be added in the numerical simulations. The bubbly flow in a horizontal pipe excited by oscillation acceleration and under the fluctuation of the liquid flow was simulated by using the modified TPFIT. Furthermore, predicted velocity distribution around the bubbles and shapes of bubbles were compared with measured results under flow rate fluctuation and structure vibration. In the results of numerical simulation, periodical change of shapes of bubbles was observed. In addition, velocity distribution around bubbles also changed in accordance with flow rate fluctuation or structure vibration. Predicted results almost agreed with measured results. In the results, it was confirmed that the modified TPFIT can predict time dependent velocity distribution around the bubbles and shapes of bubbles qualitatively.
