Book Hybrid Particle Laden Flow Modelling

Download or read book Hybrid Particle Laden Flow Modelling written by David Schellander and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2013-09-20 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2013 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, grade: 1, University of Linz (Department on Particulate Flow Modelling), language: English, abstract: The numerical hybrid model EUgran+, which is an Eulerian-Eulerian granular phase model extended with models from the Eulerian-Lagrangian model for dense rapid particulate flows, is modified to account for poly-dispersed particle diameter distributions. These modifications include the implementation of I) a new poly-dispersed drag law and of II) new particle boundary conditions distinguishing between sliding and non-sliding particle-wall collisions and III) a new implementation of the population balance equation in the agglomeration model using the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach, referred to as Bus-stop model. Further, the applicability of the EUgran+ model is extended to cover dilute to dense poly-disperse particulate flows. Furthermore, this provides an improvement in the numerical simulation of dust separation and the formation of particle strands in industrial scale cyclones. In this PHD thesis, the EUgran+Poly model is validated at 3 specific cases with different mass loadings: I) poly-dispersed particle conveying in a square pipe with a 90 degree bend at low mass loading (L = 0:00206); II) a particle conveying case in a rectangular pipe with a double-loop at high mass loading (L = 1:5); III) in a vertical pipe the implementation of the agglomeration model is validated. To show the applicability of the presented models a simulation of an industrial cyclone in experimental scale is presented. The validation and application shows that considering a poly-disperse Eulerian-Eulerian granular phase improves the accordance of the simulation results with measurements significantly. Finally, the hybrid model is a good compromise for a computational efficient simulation of particulate transport and separation with different mass loading regimes.

Book Solid particles Deposition Through a Turbulent Impinging Jet Using Lattice Boltzmann Method

Download or read book Solid particles Deposition Through a Turbulent Impinging Jet Using Lattice Boltzmann Method written by Ali Abdulkadhim and published by . 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.

Book Modeling Turbulent Dispersion and Deposition of Airborne Particles in High Temperature Pipe Flows

Download or read book Modeling Turbulent Dispersion and Deposition of Airborne Particles in High Temperature Pipe Flows written by Pritheesh Gnanaselvam and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The simulations and experiments outlined are designed to explore the effect of existing turbulent dispersion models in predicting particle deposition characteristics at higher temperatures. The continuous phase solution was obtained from using a Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) turbulence model and the turbulent dispersion was modeled using a Continuous Random Walk (CRW) model. Euler-Maruyama scheme was implemented to solve the non-dimensional Langevin equation to model the stochastic nature of the equation appropriately. Previous studies have shown that the particle deposition characteristics depend greatly on the time step of integration. With the Euler-Maruyama scheme, the CFD results were shown to be less sensitive to the time step of integration and with decrease in time step more stable results were obtained. Direct comparison with the Discrete Random Walk (DRW) model shows that DRW fails to predict flow fluctuations seen by particles in the diffusion-impaction regime. Previous studies of this phenomenon were all performed at ambient conditions. The CRW model was shown to predict impact velocities reasonably well, when the chosen time step of integrations is such that the stochastic and damping term are comparable in magnitude. Presented here are pipe-flow experiments conducted in the High Temperature Deposition Facility (HTDF) with a mean jet velocity of 150 m/s – 200 m/s with exit centerline temperature of 1525K to assess the capability of CRW in predicting particle deposition characteristics at high temperatures. The flow temperature was chosen in such a way that the temperature inside the pipe at any point is higher than the melting point of dust used, so that an `all stick’ condition can be used to model particle-wall interactions. The derivation and the effect of the drift correction and the stochastic terms in the normalized Langevin equation were discussed in detail. Simulations were performed trying to reproduce experimental results with and without injection line. The CFD model without injection line was shown to follow the predicted pipe deposition based on the effective drift correction, whereas the CFD model with injection line did not show significant change in pipe deposition results with velocity. CFD results using the OSU-CRW model posited that the model is more appropriate for turbulent pipe flows in the fully developed region.

Book Fouling Science and Technology

Download or read book Fouling Science and Technology written by L. Melo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fouling of heat exchangers, reactors and catalysts remains one of the most urgent problems facing the process industries. Over the past ten years there has been limited research and investigation into the underlying mechanisms which give rise to this problem. For convenience, particularly in heat exchanger technology, the mechanisms involved have been subdivided into different subject areas. It is often the situation that individuals or groups of workers have concentra ted efforts in one or two of these specialist areas and there is a need to integrate the ideas across the whole spectrum of the subject. In addition, topics such as adhesion and surface phenomena have not been properly taken into account up till now in the assessment of the fouling processes. For this reason it was considered essential that the recognised experts from around the world, who are actively concerned with research, development and design in the fieId, should meet and exchange ideas and experience. Such a meeting was held at Alvor, Portugal, in May 1987, sponsored by the NATO Advanced St~dy Institutes Programme. In order to obtain a common basis for the work of the Advanced Study Institute, the whole technological field was reviewed right from the basic concepts to the frontiers of present knowledge. Each invited contributor was asked to make an overall presentation covering his or her area of expertise.

Book Numerical Investigation of Particle Deposition in a Turbulent Boundary Layer with Forced Turbulence in the External Flow

Download or read book Numerical Investigation of Particle Deposition in a Turbulent Boundary Layer with Forced Turbulence in the External Flow written by Manoj Joishi and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deposition of particles on a wall plays a significant role in fluid-solid processes such as inclusions recovery from liquid steel in ladle furnace, that controls inclusion cleanliness upstream from solidification. The aim of this work is to study the turbulent deposition and capture of particles on a wall, in a situation where turbulence in the boundary layer originates both from wall shear and from agitation in the external flow. In a ladle furnace, such an agitation would result from bubble injection. A framework for simulations at mesoscopic scale in which particles are represented as points but the turbulence is fully resolved has been developped using an in-house solver, where a Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) solves flow dynamics and linear isotropic forcing generates artificial turbulence. Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT) is used to achieve one way coupling between particle motions and turbulent flow. These numerical methods were applied to Direct Numerical simulation (DNS) of a fully developed turbulent boundary layer in which particles smaller than the Kolmogorov length scale are introduced. The deposition mechanisms in aerosol conditions have been analyzed and quantified into a statistical law for deposition velocity in terms of Stokes number, and validated against data from the literature. Such simulations have provided a better understanding of deposition and capture mechanisms, depending on the turbulent flow in a wall boundary layer and on particle physical properties. Also, preliminary simulations in hydrosol conditions that match actual ladle operation have shown that the framework developed in this work can be applied to investigate inclusion behavior in secondary steel-making although statistical analysis in this work focused on aerosols.

Download or read book Flowing Matter written by Federico Toschi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book, published in the Soft and Biological Matter series, presents an introduction to selected research topics in the broad field of flowing matter, including the dynamics of fluids with a complex internal structure -from nematic fluids to soft glasses- as well as active matter and turbulent phenomena. Flowing matter is a subject at the crossroads between physics, mathematics, chemistry, engineering, biology and earth sciences, and relies on a multidisciplinary approach to describe the emergence of the macroscopic behaviours in a system from the coordinated dynamics of its microscopic constituents. Depending on the microscopic interactions, an assembly of molecules or of mesoscopic particles can flow like a simple Newtonian fluid, deform elastically like a solid or behave in a complex manner. When the internal constituents are active, as for biological entities, one generally observes complex large-scale collective motions. Phenomenology is further complicated by the invariable tendency of fluids to display chaos at the large scales or when stirred strongly enough. This volume presents several research topics that address these phenomena encompassing the traditional micro-, meso-, and macro-scales descriptions, and contributes to our understanding of the fundamentals of flowing matter. This book is the legacy of the COST Action MP1305 “Flowing Matter”.

Download or read book Slurry Flow written by C A Shook and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slurry Flow: Principles and Practice describes the basic concepts and methods for understanding and designing slurry flow systems, in-plan installations, and long-distance transportation systems. The goal of this book is to enable the design or plant engineer to derive the maximum benefit from a limited amount of test data and to generalize operating experience to new situations. Design procedures are described in detail and are accompanied by illustrative examples needed by engineers with little or no previous experience in slurry transport. The technical literature in this field is extensive: this book facilitates its use by surveying current research results and providing explanations of mechanistic flow models. This discussion of background scientific principles helps the practitioner to better interpret test data, select pumps, specify materials of construction, and choose measuring devises for slurry transport systems. The extensive range of topics covered in Slurry Flow: Principles and practice includes slurry rheology, homogeneous and heterogeneous slurry flow principles, wear mechanisms, pumping equipment, instrumentation, and operating aspects.
