This book was released on 2016 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The turbulent motion of particles and their interactions with the turbulence of the carrier phase make a complex system. Hence understanding the physics and consequently developing a well-stablished model becomes very difficult. With insufficient computational power to numerically resolve all the scales of these kinds of flows using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), experimental investigations still remain the sole source of information for these systems, especially at high Reynolds numbers. Lack of comprehensive experimental data for solid-liquid flows as well as limitation of the existing experimental data to low Reynolds numbers are the motivations for this investigation. The main goal of this research is to experimentally investigate solid-liquid turbulent flows in a vertical pipe and provide some insight into these flows, especially for an extended range of Reynolds numbers. To fulfil the abovementioned goal, a 50.6 mm vertical pipe loop was constructed and dilute mixtures of water and glass beads were used. The glass bead diameters were 0.5, 1 and 2 mm and the volumetric concentration ranged from 0.05 to 1.6% depending on the particle size. The experiments were performed at three Reynolds numbers: 52 000, 100 000, and 320 000 which are referred to here as low, medium and high Re. A combined technique of Particle Image/Tracking velocimetry (PIV/PTV) was employed to perform the measurements. The measured and reported flow parameters are: mean axial velocity profiles of the solid and liquid phases, particle distribution over the cross section of the pipe (concentration profile), particle-particle interaction index, axial and radial fluctuating velocity profiles of both phases, and shear Reynolds stress and its correlation for both phases. The relatively wide range of different parameters tested here provided interesting and novel experimental results. The results showed that the turbulent motions of the fluid and particles and their interactions varied drastically as Re increased. Moreover, the behavior of the particles and their impact on the fluid can be very different in the axial and radial directions. The results proved that the well-known criteria for axial turbulence modulation of the carrier phase could not perform well at high Reynolds numbers and their performance was much poorer for the radial direction modulation. The new data sets provided by the present study offer valuable insight into the processes or phenomena heavily influenced by turbulence, such as pipe wear rate, oil sand lump ablation, and pressure loss/energy consumption. In addition, these data sets can be utilised to evaluate and improve the existing correlations and models for particulate turbulent flows. In addition, a quantitative analysis of the particle and carrier phase turbulence modulation was conducted. Particle turbulence intensities in present study were combined with other experimental data from the literature to propose a novel empirical correlation was proposed for axial particle turbulence in solid-liquid flows. Moreover, a novel empirical criterion/correlation was proposed to classify the carrier phase turbulence attenuation/augmentation phenomenon for both gas-solid and liquid-solid flows by employing a wide range of data from the present study and from the literature. Two major improvements of the proposed criterion/correlation are the prediction of the onset and the magnitude of the carrier phase turbulence augmentation. These new empirical correlations will assist the researchers in this field to effectively design and coordinate their experimental or numerical efforts.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this thesis is the study of turbulent solid-liquid stirred suspensions, which are involved in many common unit operations in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries. The studies of two-phase flows present a big challenge to researchers due to the complexity of experiments; hence there is a lack of quantitative solid and liquid hydrodynamic measurements. Therefore, an investigation of turbulence modulation by dispersed particles on the surrounding fluid in stirred vessels has been carried out, via two-phase fluorescent Particle Image Velocimetry (FPIV) and micromixing experiments. The main property of interest has been the local dissipation rate, as well as root-mean-square (rms) velocities and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) of the fluid. Initially a single-phase PIV study was conducted to investigate the flow field generated by a sawtooth (EkatoMizer) impeller. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into various PIV techniques before moving on to more complex two-phase flows. Subsequently stereo-, high-speed and angle-resolved measurements were obtained. The EkatoMizer formed a good case study as information regarding its hydrodynamics is not readily available in literature, hence knowledge has been extended in this area. An analysis of the mean flow field elucidated the general structure of fluid drawn into the impeller region axially and discharged radially; the latter characterised the impeller stream. The radial rms velocity was considered to represent best the system turbulence, even though the tangential rms velocity was greater close to the blade; however the radial component was more prevalent in the discharge stream. Due to differences in rms velocities, TKE estimates obtained from two and three velocity components deviated, being greater in the latter case. Integral (1-D and 2-D) length scales were overestimated by the quantity W/2 in the impeller region. Ratios of longitudinal-to-lateral length scales also indicated flow anisotropy (as they deviated from 2:1). The anisotropy tensor showed that the flow was anisotropic close to the blade, and returned to isotropy further away from the impeller. Instantaneous vector plots revealed vortices in the discharge stream, but these were not associated with flow periodicity. Alternatively, the vortex structures were interpreted as low frequency phenomena between 0-200 Hz; macro-instabilities were found to have a high probability of occurrence in the discharge stream. Dissipation is the turbulent property of most interest as it directly influences micromixing processes, and its calculation is also the most difficult to achieve. Its direct determination from definition requires highly resolved data. Alternative methods have been proposed in the literature, namely dimensional analysis, large eddy simulation (LES) analogy and deduction from the TKE balance. All methods were employed using 2-D and 3-D approximations from stereo-PIV data. The LES analogy was deemed to provide the best estimate, since it accounts for three-dimensionality of the flow and models turbulence at the smallest scales using a sub-grid scale model. This method was carried forward to the analysis of two-phase PIV experiments. Turbulence intermittency of dissipation was assessed against the multifractal model of Meneveau and Sreenivasan (1991) and on that basis, the global standard deviation filter was considered most suitable for vector validation. The distribution of energy dissipation was calculated; it was estimated that 96% was dissipated in the impeller region. The ratio of maximum-to-mean energy dissipation compared well to other impellers, creating uncertainty about its reported high-shear attributes. After sufficient analyses of the single-phase EkatoMizer flow had been completed, investigation of two-phase flows began. Fluorescent Particle Image Velocimetry (FPIV) and digital image analysis techniques were combined, to quantify the hydrodynamics of solid-liquid suspensions stirred by a 45? pitched blade turbine impeller. Soda-lime glass spheres of sizes 250-300, 700-750 and 1000?m were employed for the dispersed phase, up to volumetric concentrations of 0.3, 0.5 and 0.5 vol% in water, respectively. The continuous phase mean velocity did not change significantly in the impeller jet or bulk flow, with the addition of up to 0.5 vol% dispersed phase. The 250-300 and 1000?m particles were found to suppress the carrier phase turbulence, in terms of rms velocities, turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation rate above particle concentrations of 0.2 vol%. The level of turbulence suppression remained constant up to 0.5 vol%. Greatest impact was on the dissipation rate, which decreased at most 25% in the discharge stream. Continuous phase integral length scales remained unchanged in the presence of solids. The locally averaged particle concentration field showed high concentrations above and below the impeller and at the corner of the vessel base. Particle turbulence levels measured at 0.5 vol% dispersed phase were lower than the corresponding fluid, and showed relatively higher anisotropy. The terminal velocity under estimated the slip velocity of the 1000 and 700-750?m particles in the impeller discharge, by a factor of five and nine respectively. Finally, two-phase micromixing experiments were carried out using both Bourne and Villermaux reaction schemes, to determine how the presence of particles affects the by-product distribution. In this way, the consequence on the dissipation rate was inferred indirectly. As these experiments did not depend on transparency of the mixture, experiments could be carried out with up to 1.75 vol% particles in the Bourne scheme and 3 vol% in the Villermaux scheme (operated at 500 and 800 rpm respectively). The common findings were that both small and large size classes (i.e. 70-100, 250-300 and 1000?m particles) increased the by-product yields and subsequently suppressed the dissipation rate. These results substantiated the earlier two-phase PIV observations. In the case of smaller particles (70-100 and 250-300?m), the maximum turbulence suppression occurred at ~1 vol%. Above this concentration, the level of suppression decreased and in some cases the regime switched to augmentation, indicating that particle concentration as well as size is important. In both FPIV and micromixing experiments, the finding of larger particles suppressing turbulence contradicts one of the most influential theories of Gore and Crowe (1989), which suggests that particles with diameter-to-integral length scale ratio greater than 0.1 create augmentation. Finally an experimental flow model (to accompany the engulfment model of micromixing) was proposed for a PBT stirred flow and evaluated against the single-phase micromixing results.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulent flows laden with finite-size solid particles are found in a variety of natural and engineering processes. However, the overall understanding of how the flow properties, such as turbulent intensity and flow drag, are modified by the addition of the particles is still limited. So far, the only rigorous approach to investigate the modulation mechanisms at the particle scale is to numerically solve the disturbance flow around each particle, known as the interface-resolved simulations (IRS). However, the application of IRS in the turbulent particle-laden flow is particularly challenging due to the requirements of resolving all the length and time scales in the turbulent flow, as well as the need to realize the no-slip boundary condition on the moving particle surfaces. ☐ In recent years, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has emerged as an efficient and accurate numerical approach for computational fluid dynamics. Compared to the conventional approaches of directly solving the Navier-Stokes equations, LBM is simple to code, easy to parallelize, and flexible in treating boundary conditions. In particular, the no-slip boundary treatment based on bounce-back scheme and mesoscopic momentum exchange in LBM take full advantage of the gas kinetic description. However, the realization of these treatments in particle-laden turbulent flow simulations is still rare. So far, the majority of the particle-laden turbulent flow simulations relies on the smoothed-boundary treatments, such as the immersed boundary methods, which tends to induce artificial dissipation. In this dissertation, LBM with a sharp-interface treatment is developed to investigate turbulence modulation by finite-size solid particles. ☐ After a thorough validation, the method is applied to the simulations of a turbulent channel flow laden with both fixed and moving particles. The interactions between the dispersed particles and carrier turbulent flows, especially the modulation induced by the particles on the turbulence intensity and its parameter dependence are examined. The addition of particles is found to result in a more homogeneous distribution of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in the wall normal direction and a more isotropic TKE distribution among different spatial directions, comparing to the single-phase turbulent channel flow. To gain further insight, the budget equations of both the total TKE and component-wise TKE in the particle-laden turbulent flows are derived and analyzed using the simulation data. The budget analysis of the total TKE shows that the production rate of TKE from the mean flow is modified to become more uniform in the wall-normal direction by the presence of particles, which is responsible for the more homogeneous distribution of TKE. Specifically, in the buffer region where the TKE source is maximized in the single-phase flow, the TKE source due to the mean shear is reduced since both the mean flow velocity gradient and the Reynolds stress are reduced by the presence of particles. This reduction is found to be related to the particle inertia, where particles with larger inertia result in greater reduction of the TKE source. On the other hand, particles pump energy to turbulent fluctuations by doing work directly (moving particles) or inducing disturbances to the mean flow (fixed particles), converting more mechanical energy from the mean flow to the turbulent motion. The strength of this extra TKE source is related to the dynamics of the wake developed behind particles and therefore is particle-Reynolds-number dependent. The relative strength of the above two mechanisms determines whether the turbulence intensity of a turbulent channel flow is augmented or attenuated by the presence of particles. The budget analysis of component-wise TKE reveals that the more isotropic distribution of TKE among different spatial directions results from the enhanced inter-components transfer of TKE. This enhancement is found to originate from the spherical shape of the particles and particle rotation. ☐ In summary, the improved LBM simulation method based on the sharp-interface treatment provides a better alternative for particle-laden turbulent flow simulations than the commonly used smoothed-interface treatments. The physical results from this dissertation research advance our understanding of flow modulation induced by finite-size solid particles in turbulent flows, particularly in wall-bounded turbulent flows.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The motivation for the present work is to investigate particle-laden turbulent flows using accurate numerical simulations. In the present work, the carrier phase is modeled using direct numerical simulations (DNS) and the particles are tracked in a Lagrangian sense. Investigations of both one-way and two-way coupled particulate flows in homogeneous isotropic turbulence have been carried out. The phenomenon of interest in one-way coupled simulations is preferential accumulation, which refers to the tendency of heavy particles in isotropic turbulence to collect in regions of high strain and low vorticity. Several measures and mechanisms of accumulation have been reported in the literature often showing conflicting scaling with particle and fluid parameters. In the present study, accumulation has been quantified using several indicators to give a unified picture. The present work addresses the scaling of preferential accumulation with Reynolds number and suggests that while the spacing between particle clusters does exhibit a dependence on Reynolds number, the structure of particle clusters as viewed by individual particles shows little dependence on Reynolds number. The effect of adding a gravitational settling force on the particles has also been explored. While the gravity force tends to homogenize the particle distribution at low Stokes numbers, at high Stokes numbers it tends to arrange the originally random distribution into streaks in the direction of gravity. The ability of the Lorentz force to limit preferential accumulation has been the focus of the next part of the study. Charges are placed on particles to produce an electric field when the particles are inhomogeneously distributed. The electric field and thereby the Lorentz force tend to homogenize the particle distribution. It is interesting to note that the particle distribution attains a stationary state determined by the total amount of charge contained in the domain. It is demonstrated that in the presence of gravity, less amount of charge is required to homogenise particle distribution. Good agreement is observed for simulations of settling charged particles with experimental work. The modification of carrier phase turbulence by particles is studied formono-sized particles. The non-uniform modification of the fluid energy spectrum by particles has been demonstrated. It is seen that there is an increase in energy at high wave numbers for microparticles (St k

This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of turbulence modulation, the process whereby the gas-phase turbulence is modified by the presence of particles, is investigated. Experimental trends are examined and parameters affecting turbulence modulation and the mechanisms by which turbulence modulation occurs are identified. A new model that accounts for the crossing trajectory effect is presented. This model and the turbulence modulation models of Chen and Wood [4], Tu and Fletcher [45], and Mostafa and Mongia [30] are investigated using the TASCflow CFD code. The models are compared with the experimental results of Tsuji et al [44]. The model of Tu and Fletcher is not able to reproduce either general experimental trends or the experimental results, while the other three models can predict the general experimental trends but cannot reproduce the experimental results. Analysis shows that the turbulent viscosity, [mu]'t', plays an important role in modifying the turbulence intensity profiles. The new model was not able to capture the crossing trajectory effect for the flow considered.
