Book excerpt: The authors understanding of multiphase physics and the associated predictive capability for multi-phase systems are severely limited by current continuum modeling methods and experimental approaches. This research will deliver an unprecedented modeling capability to directly simulate three-dimensional multi-phase systems at the particle-scale. The model solves the fully coupled equations of motion governing the fluid phase and the individual particles comprising the solid phase using a newly discovered, highly efficient coupled numerical method based on the discrete-element method and the Lattice-Boltzmann method. A massively parallel implementation will enable the solution of large, physically realistic systems.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes a massively parallel simulation method and its application for modeling multiphase flow and multicomponent transport in porous and fractured reservoirs. The parallel-computing method has been implemented into the TOUGH2 code and its numerical performance is tested on a Cray T3E-900 and IBM SP. The efficiency and robustness of the parallel-computing algorithm are demonstrated by completing two simulations with more than one million gridblocks, using site-specific data obtained from a site-characterization study. The first application involves the development of a three-dimensional numerical model for flow in the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The second application is the study of tracer/radionuclide transport through fracture-matrix rocks for the same site. The parallel-computing technique enhances modeling capabilities by achieving several-orders-of-magnitude speedup for large-scale and high resolution modeling studies. The resulting modeling results provide many new insights into flow and transport processes that could not be obtained from simulations using the single-CPU simulator.

This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides basic and recent research insights concerning the small scale modeling and simulation of turbulent multi-phase flows. By small scale, it has to be understood that the grid size for the simulation is smaller than most of the physical time and space scales of the problem. Small scale modeling of multi-phase flows is a very popular topic since the capabilities of massively parallel computers allows to go deeper into the comprehension and characterization of realistic flow configurations and at the same time, many environmental and industrial applications are concerned such as nuclear industry, material processing, chemical reactors, engine design, ocean dynamics, pollution and erosion in rivers or on beaches. The work proposes a complete and exhaustive presentation of models and numerical methods devoted to small scale simulation of incompressible turbulent multi-phase flows from specialists of the research community. Attention has also been paid to promote illustrations and applications, multi-phase flows and collaborations with industry. The idea is also to bring together developers and users of different numerical approaches and codes to share their experience in the development and validation of the algorithms and discuss the difficulties and limitations of the different methods and their pros and cons. The focus will be mainly on fixed-grid methods, however adaptive grids will be also partly broached, with the aim to compare and validate the different approaches and models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the maiden volume in a new series devoted to lectures delivered through the annual seminars “Short Courses on Multiphase Flow,” held primarily at ETH Zurich continuously since 1984. The Zurich short courses, presented by prominent specialists in the various topics covered, have attracted a very large number of participants. This series presents fully updated and when necessary re-grouped lectures in a number of topical volumes. The collection aims at giving a condensed, critical and up-to-date view of basic knowledge on multiphase flows in relation to systems and phenomena encountered in industrial applications. The present volume covers the background of Multiphase Flows (MPF) that introduces the reader to the particular nature and complexity of multiphase flows and to basic but critical aspects of MPFs including concepts and the definition of the quantities of interest, an introduction to modelling strategies for MPFs, flow regimes, flow regime maps and tr ansition criteria. It also deals with the ubiquitous needs of the multiphase-flow modeller, namely pressure drop and phase distribution, i.e., the void fraction and the topology of the phases that determines the flow regimes.

Download or read book Direct Numerical Simulations of Gas Liquid Multiphase Flows written by Grétar Tryggvason and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accurately predicting the behaviour of multiphase flows is a problem of immense industrial and scientific interest. Modern computers can now study the dynamics in great detail and these simulations yield unprecedented insight. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to direct numerical simulations of multiphase flows for researchers and graduate students. After a brief overview of the context and history the authors review the governing equations. A particular emphasis is placed on the 'one-fluid' formulation where a single set of equations is used to describe the entire flow field and interface terms are included as singularity distributions. Several applications are discussed, showing how direct numerical simulations have helped researchers advance both our understanding and our ability to make predictions. The final chapter gives an overview of recent studies of flows with relatively complex physics, such as mass transfer and chemical reactions, solidification and boiling, and includes extensive references to current work.

Download or read book Hierarchical Modelling of Multiphase Flows Using Fully Resolved Fixed Mesh and PDF Approaches written by S. Haeri and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully-resolved simulations of multiphase flow phenomena and in particular particulate flow simulations are computationally expensive and are only feasible on massively parallel computer clusters. A 3D SIMPLE type pressure correction algorithm is implemented and extensively tested and parallelized to exploit the power of massively parallel computing clusters currently available. Domain decomposition and communication schemes applicable to a general unstructured or structured multi-block CFD codes are discussed and algorithms are proposed, implemented and tested. Several high-performance linear solvers and a multi-grid strategy for the current framework are implemented and the best types of solvers are identified. A 2D CFD code is developed by the author to test several possible fixed-mesh strategies. Variations of immersed boundary (IB) and fictitious domain (FD) methods are implemented and compared. FD methods are identified to have better properties especially if other transport phenomena are also considered. Therefore an FD method is adapted by the author for the SIMPLE type flow solvers and is extended to heat transfer problems. The method is extensively tested for the simulation of flow around stationary in addition to freely moving particles and forced motion where both natural and forced convection are considered. The method is used to study the flow and heat transfer around a stationary cylinder and a new high resolution correlation is devised for the estimation of the local Nusselt number curves. Free fall problem for a single circular cylinder is considered and the effects of internal heat generation and also long term behavior of single cold particle subject to natural convection are also studied in detail. A particle collision strategy is also adapted and tested for the particle-particle collision problems. The FD algorithm is extended to the 3D framework and the flow around single stationary sphere and also free fall of a single sphere are used to validate the FD algorithm in 3D. A unique polydispersed fluid-particle turbulent modelling process is reviewed and the closure problem for this framework is studied in detail. Two methods for the closure of the non-integer moments which results from the polydispersity of the particles are proposed namely PDF reconstruction using Laguerre polynomials and a unique direct method named Direct Fractional Method of Moments (DFMM). The latter is derived using the results of the fractional calculus by writing an equation for the fractional derivatives of the moment generating function. The proposed methods are tested on a number of problems consisting of analytical, experimental and DNS simulations to asses their validity and viability which shows that both methods provide accurate results with DFMM having more desirable properties.

Download or read book Direct Numerical Simulations of Separated and Separated reattaching Flows on Massively Parallel Processing Computers written by Fady Michel Najjar and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Direct numerical simulations of separated-reattaching and separated flows have been performed on massively parallel processing computers. Two basic geometrical configurations have been studied: the separated-reattaching flow past a normal flat plate with an attached downstream splitter plate and the separated flow past a flat plate held normal to a uniform stream. A high-order finite-difference formulation on collocated grids has been developed to perform unsteady fluid flow simulations in rectangular geometries. The numerical procedure is based on a fifth-order upwind-biased scheme for the convective terms and a fourth-order accurate stencil for the diffusive terms. A direct solver based on eigenvalue decomposition has been developed for the pressure-Poisson equation. A mixed Fourier-spectral/finite-difference formulation is used for the spanwise discretization, and a data-parallel algorithm has been developed for the CM-5. The performance of the algorithm has been evaluated on various grid sizes in model flow problems and for different partition sizes. The characteristics of the separated-reattaching flow have been investigated through two-dimensional simulations in the steady and unsteady regimes. The shedding mechanism is characterized by two major modes at Re = 250 and a single mode at Re = 375 and 500. Further, the instability of the separated shear layer is found to be consistent with inviscid theory. For the two-dimensional study of the separated flow past a normal flat plate, the time-mean flow quantities are observed to be over-estimated compared to the experiments. The time-mean drag coefficient is also over-predicted by a factor of up to 2. This is attributed to the high coherence of the vortices predicted by the two-dimensional simulations. Two interaction regions have been identified in the far wake for Re = 500 and 1000 and are observed to occur pseudo-periodically. Large-scale computations of the three-dimensional separated flow have also been carried out. The flow is seen to break down into small-scale structures and the spanwise development of these structures has been studied. Streamwise ribs and spanwise rolls are identified in the near wake through visualization techniques. The presence of these coherent structures corroborates the experimental observations and numerical calculations for mixing layers and wakes of circular cylinders. The time-mean velocities and Reynolds stresses are found to agree well with the experiments conducted at higher Reynolds numbers.
