Effects of higher wall roughness on dense particle–laden dispersion behaviors

To analyze the effects of higher wall roughness on dense particle–laden dispersion behaviors under reduced gravity environments, a dense gas–particle two-phase second-order-moment turbulent model are developed. In this model, the wall roughness function and the kinetic theory of granular flows are coupled and closed. Anisotropy of gas–solid two-phase stresses and the interaction between gas–particle are fully considered using two-phase Reynolds stress model and the two-phase correlation transport equation. Numerical simulation test is validated by Sommerfeld and Kussin (2003) experiments data with higher wall roughness 8.32 μm. Predicted results showed that the particle concentration distribution, particle fluctuation velocity, particle temperature and particle collision frequency are greatly affected by higher wall roughness, as well as particle Reynolds stress and interactions between gas and particle turbulent flows are redistributed. Under microgravity conditions, particle temperature and collision frequency are greatly less than those of earth and lunar gravity.     

Incompressible micromorphic fluid model for turbulence

A theory of incompressible micromorphic fluids is introduced as a rational model for turbulence studies. Balance laws and constitutive equations are given. The theory is then applied to obtain the solution of the turbulent channel flow problem.

Finite element analysis of internal flows with heat transfer

This paper presents a finite element-based model for the prediction of 2-D and 3-D internal flow problems. The Eulerian velocity correction method is used which can render a fast finite element code comparable with the finite difference methods. Nine different models for turbulent flows are incorporated in the code. A modified wall function approach for solving the energy equation with high Reynolds number models is presented for the first time. This is an extension of the wall function approach of Benim and Zinser and the method is insensitive to initial approximation. The performance of the nine turbulent models is evaluated by solving flow through pipes. The code is used to predict various internal flows such as flow in the diffuser and flow in a ribbed channel. The same Eulerian velocity correction method is extended to predict the 3-D laminar flows in various ducts. The steady state results have been compared with benchmark solutions and the agreement appears to be good.     

CFD simulation of a novel design of square cyclone with dual-inverse cone

The objective of the present study is to propose a novel design to improve the separation efficiency of the conventional square cyclone. For this purpose, the conical section of the conventional square cyclone with single-cone is modified to dual inverse-cone. In addition, the effect of second-cone length on the performance of cyclone is considered. A three-dimensional numerical simulation is done by solving the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) turbulence model and applying the Eulerian-Lagrangian two-phase method. The turbulent dispersion of particles is predicted by the application of the Discrete Random Walk (DRW) model. The numerical results demonstrate that dual inverse-cone square cyclone although produces higher pressure drop but its separation efficiency is higher than the square cyclone with single-cone. This is due to a smaller separation zone and shorter path of particle movements which force the particles exit from the outlet section of the cyclone. Finally, using dual-inverse cone square cyclone reduces the 50% cut size about 10% and 30% for inlet velocities of 12 m/s and 28 m/s, respectively.     

WALL DEPOSITION OF SMALL SUSPENDED PARTICLES IN A TURBULENT CHANNEL FLOW

The diffusion of small suspended particles in a turbulent channel flow is studied by solving the transport advection-diffusion equation. The mean flowfield in the channel is simulated using a two-equation k-ε turbulence model. Deposition velocity is evaluated at different sections in the channel for different particle sizes and flow Reynolds numbers. The effects of turbulence dispersion and Brownian diffusion on particle deposition velocity are discussed. The variation of particle deposition velocity with particle diameter, density and flow Reynolds number are analyzed. The wall deposition velocities for different size particles are compared with those obtained by other models.     

Analysis of Three-Dimensional Turbulent Flow in an S-Shaped Rectangular Channel

Three-dimensional Reynolds equations are used to calculate a turbulent flow in an S-shaped rectangular channel, which was experimentally investigated by Bruns et al. [1]. It is the main objective of these calculations to estimate the accuracy provided by the most popular linear models of turbulent viscosity in application to complex three-dimensional flows. In particular, two models of this type are treated, namely, the Menter model [2] and the Spalart-Allmaras model [3]. In addition, in order to estimate the possibility of improving the accuracy of simulation owing to the inclusion of the effect of curvature of the stream lines and of anisotropy of the Reynolds stress tensor, calculations are also performed using the appropriate modifications of the Spalart-Allmaras model [3], as suggested in [4, 5]. It is demonstrated that all of the treated models produce similar results, qualitatively correctly describe the experimentally observed tendencies, and, by and large, provide for an adequate qualitative agreement between the prediction and experimental data over the averaged characteristics of flow. Some differences are observed only downstream of the inflection point of the S-shaped walls, where a velocity profile with two-way downwash is realized. In calculating the Reynolds stresses, the nonlinear model of [5] is clearly advantageous over other models.     

A particle–particle Reynolds stress transportation model of swirling particle-laden-mixtures turbulent flows

On the basis of the gas–particle Euler–Euler two-fluid approach, a new particle–particle Reynolds stress transportation model is proposed for closing the constitution equations of particle-laden-mixtures turbulent flows. In this model, binary particle-particle interaction originating from large-scale particle turbulent diffusions are fully considered in view of an extension closure idea of second-order-moment disperse gas–particle turbulent flows. The binary-particles turbulent flows with different density and same diameter are numerically simulated. The number density, the time-averaged velocity, the fluctuation velocity, the multiphase fluctuation velocity correlations, the normal and the shear Reynolds stress are obtained. Simulated results are in good agreement with experimental data. Binary mixture system has a unique transportation behavior with a stronger anisotropy due to particle inertia and multiphase turbulence diffusions. Fluctuation velocity correlation of axial–axial gas–particle is about twice larger than those of axial–axial particle–particle interaction. Moreover, both normal and shear Reynolds stress are redistributed.

Turbulence characteristics of open channel flow over non-equilibrium 3-D mobile dunes

This paper reports velocity measurements over mobile dunes using an acoustic Doppler velocimetry (ADV). Experiments were conducted with two different flow conditions resulting in the formation of two different size mobile dunes. Dunes height, wavelength and velocity of dunes found to be increasing with increase in average flow velocity for a constant flow depth. The quasi-stationary bed condition was assumed while measuring the velocity distribution along the depth. The effect of the non-equilibrium mobile dunes on the flow characteristics and turbulence is examined by computing turbulent intensities, turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds shear stresses using time averaged and time–space averaged velocity measurements. The magnitudes of transverse velocities are approximately 1/10 of streamwise velocities and vertical velocities are approximately half of the transverse velocities. The considerable magnitudes of transverse velocities over mobile bedforms necessitate measurement of 3-D velocity components to analyze the flow field. Computed turbulence intensities are found to be maximum in the region consisting of the trough and the reattachment point of the dunes. It is observed that streamwise turbulence intensities near the bed are twice the transverse turbulence intensities, and transverse turbulence intensities are twice the vertical turbulence intensities. Reynolds stresses (transverse fluxes of streamwise and vertical momentum) are observed to be high on mobile bedforms which shows mobile dunes reinforce the secondary currents. Peak values of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and Reynolds stresses are also found in the region consisting of the trough and the reattachment point. It is visually observed in the present experiments that maximum erosion takes place at the reattachment point and eroded sediment is carried as total load and dropped on the lee slope of the subsequent downstream dune. This phenomenon is caused by flow expansion in the separation zone, and which is also the main reason for mobility of dunes and associated bedload transport. Most importantly, it is found that turbulence anisotropy increases with increase in size of mobile bedforms and anisotropy is extended up to the free surface in the flows over mobile bedforms, which proves the entire depth of flow is being disturbed by the mobile dunes.     

Numerical simulation of a two-dimensional turbulent wall jet in an external stream

Turbulent wall jets possess a region with negative production of turbulent kinetic energy between the points of maximum velocity and vanishing shear stress. This characteristic feature cannot be shown with many turbulence models. The use of an extended expression for the primary turbulent shear stress together with a k–? or an algebraic Reynolds stress model results in a model which can show this physical property. Computed results obtained with this concept are compared with measurements and results obtained with the standard k–? model and a full Reynolds stress closure. It is shown that the computed results with the present and the Reynolds stress model are of similar quality. However, the Reynolds stress solution is more costly in computing time.
