This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid particle distribution on an impingement surface has been simulated utilizing a graphical processing unit (GPU). An in-house computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code has been developed to investigate a 3D turbulent impinging jet using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in conjunction with large eddy simulation (LES) and the multiple relaxation time (MRT) models. This work proposed an improvement in the LBM-cellular automata (LBM-CA) probabilistic method. In the current model, the fluid flow utilizes the D3Q19 LBM lattice model, while the particles movement employs the D3Q27 one. The particle numbers are defined at the same regular LBM (fluid) nodes, and the transport of particles from one node to its neighbouring nodes are determined in accordance with the particle bulk density and velocity by considering all the external forces. The previous CA models distribute particles at each time step without considering the local particles number and velocity at each node. The present model overcomes the deficiencies of the previous LBM-CA models and, therefore, can better capture the dynamic interaction between particles and the surrounding turbulent flow field. Despite increasing popularity of the LBM-MRT model in simulating complex multiphase fluid flows, this approach is still expensive in term of memory size and computational time required to perform 3D simulations. To improve the throughput of simulations, a single GeForce GTX TITAN X GPU is used in the present work. The CUDA parallel programming platform and the CuRAND library are utilized to form an efficient LBM-MRT-CA algorithm. The LBM-MRT fluid (i.e. no particles) model results were compared with two benchmark test cases ones. The first case is a turbulent free square jet, and the second one is a circular turbulent impinging jet for L/D=2 at Reynolds number equals to 25,000, where L is the nozzle-to-surface distance and D is the jet diameter. The LBM-CA simulation methodology was first validated against a benchmark test case involving particle deposition on a square cylinder confined in a duct. The flow was unsteady and laminar at Re=200 (Re is the Reynolds number), and simulations were conducted for different Stokes numbers. The GPU code was then used to simulate the particle transport and deposition in a turbulent impinging jet at Re=10,000. The effect of changing Stokes number on the particle deposition profile was studied at different L/D ratios, i.e. L/D=2, 4, and 6. The current model was finally used to simulate the particle impaction pattern from a circular jet for L/D=0.5, where the effect of changing Stokes and Reynolds numbers on the particle transport and deposition was examined. The present LBM-CA solutions agree well with other results available in the open literature. For comparative studies, another in-house serial CPU code was also developed, coupling LBM with the classical Lagrangian particle dispersion model. Agreement between results obtained with LBM-CA and LBM-Lagrangian models and the experimental data for the impinging jet case of L/D=0.5 is generally good, and the present LBM-CA approach on GPU achieves a speedup ratio of about 150 against the serial code running on a single CPU. Another new model was proposed to incorporate the solid particle phase effect (i.e. two-way coupling) on the fluid flow. The LMB-Lagrangian approach was used in this model to track solid particles in the computational domain. The solid particle phase was considered as a porous medium moving in the computational domain. The impact of the porous medium (i.e. the solid particle phase) on the fluid flow characteristics (e.g. fluid velocity) is a function of the particle phase volume fraction and velocity in the LBM. Particle-particle collision (i.e. four-way coupling) was also considered in this model by utilizing the discrete element method (DEM). This approach can numerically capture the multi-particle collision behaviours in dense particle suspension problems. This model data were compared with the numerical study ones for a single bubble injected in a fluidized bed, and the results of the bubble diameters at different injection velocity were in good agreement.

Download or read book Peristaltic Particle Transport Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peristaltic transport refers to a class of internal fluid flows where the periodic deformation of flexible containing walls elicits a non-negligible fluid motion. It is a mechanism used to transport fluid and immersed solid particles in a tube or channel when it is ineffective or impossible to impose a favorable pressure gradient or desirous to avoid contact between the transported mixture and mechanical moving parts. Peristaltic transport occurs in many physiological situations and has myriad industrial applications. We focus our study on the peristaltic transport of a macroscopic particle in a two-dimensional channel using the lattice Boltzmann method. We systematically investigate the effect of variation of the relevant dimensionless parameters of the system on the particle transport. We find, among other results, a case where an increase in Reynolds number can actually lead to a slight increase in particle transport, and a case where, as the wall deformation increases, the motion of the particle becomes non-negative only. We examine the particle behavior when the system exhibits the peculiar phenomenon of fluid trapping. Under these circumstances, the particle may itself become trapped where it is subsequently transported at the wave speed, which is the maximum possible transport in the absence of a favorable pressure gradient. Finally, we analyze how the particle presence affects stress, pressure, and dissipation in the fluid in hopes of determining preferred working conditions for peristaltic transport of shear-sensitive particles. We find that the levels of shear stress are most hazardous near the throat of the channel. We advise that shear-sensitive particles should be transported under conditions where trapping occurs as the particle is typically situated in a region of innocuous shear stress levels.

This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature continuously presents a huge number of complex and multi-scale phenomena, which in many cases, involve the presence of one or more fluids flowing, merging and evolving around us. Since its appearance on the surface of Earth, Mankind has tried to exploit and tame fluids for their purposes, probably starting with Hero's machinery to open the doors of the Temple of Serapis in Alexandria to arrive to modern propulsion systems and actuators. Today we know that fluid mechanics lies at the basis of countless scientific and technical applications from the smallest physical scales (nanofluidics, bacterial motility, and diffusive flows in porous media), to the largest (from energy production in power plants to oceanography and meteorology). It is essential to deepen the understanding of fluid behaviour across scales for the progress of Mankind and for a more sustainable and efficient future. Since the very first years of the Third Millennium, the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) has seen an exponential growth of applications, especially in the fields connected with the simulation of complex and soft matter flows. LBM, in fact, has shown a remarkable versatility in different fields of applications from nanoactive materials, free surface flows, and multiphase and reactive flows to the simulation of the processes inside engines and fluid machinery. LBM is based on an optimized formulation of Boltzmann's Kinetic Equation, which allows for the simulation of fluid particles, or rather quasi-particles, from a mesoscopic point of view thus allowing the inclusion of more fundamental physical interactions in respect to the standard schemes adopted with Navier-Stokes solvers, based on the continuum assumption. In this book, the authors present the most recent advances of the application of the LBM to complex flow phenomena of scientific and technical interest with particular focus on the multi-scale modeling of heterogeneous catalysis within nano-porous media and multiphase, multicomponent flows.

Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for solving transport phenomena – flow, heat and mass transfer – in a systematic way. Providing explanatory computer codes throughout the book, the author guides readers through many practical examples, such as: • flow in isothermal and non-isothermal lid-driven cavities; • flow over obstacles; • forced flow through a heated channel; • conjugate forced convection; and • natural convection. Diffusion and advection–diffusion equations are discussed, together with applications and examples, and complete computer codes accompany the sections on single and multi-relaxation-time methods. The codes are written in MatLab. However, the codes are written in a way that can be easily converted to other languages, such as FORTRANm Python, Julia, etc. The codes can also be extended with little effort to multi-phase and multi-physics, provided the physics of the respective problem are known. The second edition of this book adds new chapters, and includes new theory and applications. It discusses a wealth of practical examples, and explains LBM in connection with various engineering topics, especially the transport of mass, momentum, energy and molecular species. This book offers a useful and easy-to-follow guide for readers with some prior experience with advanced mathematics and physics, and will be of interest to all researchers and other readers who wish to learn how to apply LBM to engineering and industrial problems. It can also be used as a textbook for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses on computational transport phenomena
Download or read book Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Particle Laden Flows in Microfluidic Systems written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this effort was to develop dynamic simulation tools to study and characterize particulate transport in Microfluidic devices. This includes the effects of external fields and near-field particle-particle, particle-surface interactions. The unique aspects of this effort are that we focused on the particles in suspension and rigorously accounted for all of the interactions that they experienced in solution. In contrast, other numerical methods within the program, finite element and finite volume approaches incorporated approximations to begin to account for particle-particle interactions. Through the programs (BioFlips and SIMBIOSYS), we developed collaborative relationships with device-oriented efforts. More specifically and at the request of the SIMBIOSYS program manager, we allowed our efforts/milestones to be more guided by the needs of our BioFlips colleagues; therefore, our efforts were focused on the needs of the MD Anderson Cancer Center (Peter Gascoyne), UC Davis (Rosemary Smith), and UC Berkeley (Dorian Liepmann). The first two collaborations involved the development of Dielectrophoresis analysis tools and the later involved the development of suspension and fluid modeling tools for microneedles.
