Numerical simulation of two-dimensional spouted bed with draft plates by discrete element method

A discrete element method (DEM)-computational fluid dynamics (CFD) two-way coupling method was employed to simulate the hydrodynamics in a two-dimensional spouted bed with draft plates. The motion of particles was modeled by the DEM and the gas flow was modeled by the Navier-Stokes equation. The interactions between gas and particles were considered using a two-way coupling method. The motion of particles in the spouted bed with complex geometry was solved by combining DEM and boundary element method (BEM). The minimal spouted velocity was obtained by the BEM-DEM-CFD simulation and the variation of the flow pattern in the bed with different superficial gas velocity was studied. The relationship between the pressure drop of the spouted bed and the superficial gas velocity was achieved from the simulations. The radial profile of the averaged vertical velocities of particles and the profile of the averaged void fraction in the spout and the annulus were statistically analyzed. The flow characteristics of the gas-solid system in the two-dimensional spouted bed were clearly described by the simulation results.

DEM simulation of gas-solid flow behaviors in spout-fluid bed

Three-dimensional gas and particle turbulent motions in a rectangular spout-fluid bed were simulated. The particle motion was modeled by discrete element method and the gas motion was modeled by k-ε two-equation turbulent model. Shear induced Saffman lift force, rotation induced Magnus lift force as well as drag force, contract force and gravitational force acting on individual particles were considered when establishing the mathematics models. A two-way coupling numerical iterative scheme was used to incorporate the effects of gas-particle interactions in volume fraction, momentum and kinetic energy. The gas-solid flow patterns, forces acting on particles, the particles mean velocities, jet penetration depths, gas turbulent intensities and particle turbulent intensities were discussed. Selected stimulation results were compared to some published experimental and simulation results.

Particle‐scale simulation of the flow and heat transfer behaviors in fluidized bed with immersed tube

A kind of new modified computational fluid dynamics‐discrete element method (CFD‐DEM) method was founded by combining CFD based on unstructured mesh and DEM. The turbulent dense gas–solid two phase flow and the heat transfer in the equipment with complex geometry can be simulated by the programs based on the new method when the k‐ε turbulence model and the multiway coupling heat transfer model among particles, walls and gas were employed. The new CFD‐DEM coupling method that combining k‐ε turbulence model and heat transfer model, was employed to simulate the flow and the heat transfer behaviors in the fluidized bed with an immersed tube. The microscale mechanism of heat transfer in the fluidized bed was explored by the simulation results and the critical factors that influence the heat transfer between the tube and the bed were discussed. The profiles of average solids fraction and heat transfer coefficient between gas‐tube and particle‐tube around the tube were obtained and the influences of fluidization parameters such as gas velocity and particle diameter on the transfer coefficient were explored by simulations. The computational results agree well with the experiment, which shows that the new CFD‐DEM method is feasible and accurate for the simulation of complex gas–solid flow with heat transfer. And this will improve the farther simulation study of the gas–solid two phase flow with chemical reactions in the fluidized bed. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2009     

Flow patterns of solids in a two-dimensional spouted bed with draft plates: PIV measurement and DEM simulations

Particle flow behaviors in a two-dimensional spouted bed (2DSB) with draft plates were studied using both the particle image velocimetry (PIV) and the combined technique of discrete element method and fluid dynamic computation (DEM-CFD) while considering the gas turbulence effect. The bed consisted of a rectangular column, 152 mm wide and 15 mm deep, a conical section with an included 60° angle and two draft plates with a distance of 15 mm. Images of particle flow were recorded by a high speed CCD camera and analyzed using a self-developed PIV algorithm to obtain a time-averaged particle velocity field. Experiments predict that the addition of draft plates not only makes the streamline of particles in the annulus steeper, but the velocity magnitude is made smaller as well. DEM results predict well the longitudinal profile of the particle vertical velocity along the bed centerline, especially during the rapid acceleration stage at the lower part of the spout. Finally, the distributions of drag forces and net forces are introduced in this paper to explain the particle velocity profiles by PIV measurement.

Numerical simulation of pulsed fluidized bed with immersed tubes using DEM-LES coupling method

The present work is a 2-D numerical simulation of pulsed fluidized bed with immersed tubes using DEM-LES coupling method. The pulsed inflow of gas phase is modeled as U₀(1+sin(2πft)), in which four pulsating frequencies of f=5, 10, 15 and 20 of velocity inflow are used. The discrete element method (DEM) simulation for particle motion coupled with the large eddy simulation (LES) for gas phase is used. The fluidized bed with five immersed tubes of staggered arrangement and six immersed tubes of in-line arrangement is simulated, respectively. It is found that the pressure drop, the mean drag force and the mean pressure gradient force experienced by particles are forced oscillated. The different effects of pulsed fluidization on the circumferential distribution of particle-tube collision on the outer surface of tubes at different pulse frequencies and modes of arrangement of immersed tubes are numerically analyzed. Finally, it is found that the pulsed motion of fluid with high frequency leads to suppression of particle fluctuating motion.     

Numerical Investigation of the Gas‐Solid Flow Characteristics in a Three‐Dimensional Spouted Bed with a Draft Tube

Gas‐solid motions in a three‐dimensional conical spouted bed with a draft tube are investigated based on a simulation carried out by the coupling approach of computational fluid dynamics combined with the discrete‐element method. The distribution properties of the velocity, the concentration, and the flux of the solid phase are discussed. The vertical solid velocity in the central region initially increases, diminishes gradually, and finally decreases sharply in the region above the draft tube. Vigorous lateral solid motion occurs in the periphery of the fountain and the spout‐annulus interface. In addition, the vertical solid flux shows a large value in the spout. A larger vertical velocity but a more dilute solid concentration can be detected along the axial direction when enlarging the gas flow rate.
