微细颗粒物在过滤介质中过滤特性的CFD-DEM模拟

基于CFD-DEM（离散单元法）方法模拟了微细颗粒物在纤维过滤介质中的气-固两相流动特性，模拟时，充分考虑了颗粒群组成、粒径分布、颗粒间及颗粒与纤维间的反弹作用以及颗粒团聚等因素，分析了纤维过滤中颗粒群的运动特性和微细颗粒的沉积形式。结果表明：采用CFD-DEM模拟过滤介质的过滤过程以及微细颗粒在介质表面沉积过程和形式的方法是方便且可行的，模拟结果与前人的实验观测结果基本吻合；在过滤过程中，表面过滤的贡献较大，大部分的颗粒在介质表面即被捕集，进入到介质内部的部分粒径较小的颗粒经深层过滤作用而被捕集；大量的颗粒捕集是由颗粒-颗粒捕集机制来实现的；不同颗粒体系的颗粒群其过滤效果也有所差别，对于本文所研究的过滤介质模型，多颗粒体系的过滤效率比单一的颗粒体系的过滤效率高20%左右。

CFD-DEM Simulation to Study the Filtration Characteristic of the Fine Particle in the Filter Media

The gas-solid two-phase flow characteristics of fine particles in the filter media were simulated based on CFD-DEM (Discrete Element Method) in this study, and the particle group, particle size distribution, and the rebound effect between particles, particle and fiber were taken into account the calculations. Additionally, the movement characteristics of the particle group and the deposition form of the fine particles in the fibrous filtration were analyzed. The results indicate that it is convenient and feasible to simulate the filtration process of the filter media as well as the deposition process and form of the fine particle on the media surface using CFD-DEM, and the simulation results are consistent with the experimental observations in the literature. The surface filtration has larger contribution to the filtration process, and most of the particles are captured by the media surface. Meanwhile, parts of smaller particles that enter into the media are captured by the depth filtration. A larger number of particles are collected by the particle-particle capture mechanism. The filtration efficiencies of the filter media are varied with the particle systems, and for the model of the filter media in this study, the filtration efficiency of the multi-particle system is about 20% higher than that of the single-particle one.
