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     

Size segregation of spherical nickel pellets in the surface flow of a packed bed: Experiments and Discrete Element Method simulations

The size segregation of binary mixtures of spherical nickel pellets flowing into a packed bed was investigated with Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations and physical experiments in 30 cm and 60 cm wide rectangular test cells. Each test cell approximates a vertical slice of a cylindrical packed bed, with a rising feed tube on one side of the cell representing the stationary frame of reference in the packed bed. As the feed tube is raised, the pellets flow laterally into the test cell to form a sloping surface inclined to the horizontal by the angle of repose. The lateral flow of pellets is confined near the surface of the packed bed, and was intermittent in character (i.e. surging). Velocity vectors show the detailed flow field in the simulated test cells. The smaller pellets were found to be concentrated near the core of the granular assembly, and the larger pellets segregate to the outer wall farthest from the feed tube. The degree of segregation, or coefficient of variation (variance/mean), is proportional to the diameter ratio α of the pellets and the length of the surface, and inversely proportional to the mass fraction of the smaller pellets within the range of parameters studied. The DEM simulations had an average deviation in mass fraction of 0.07 and maximum deviation of 0.22 from the experimental data.     

Study of filtered interphase heat transfer using highly resolved CFD–DEM simulations

Accurately predicting the complex inhomogeneous heat transfer behavior in gas–solid fluidized beds is of fundamental importance. In this work, we constitute an enhanced filtered interphase heat transfer coefficient (IHTC) closure by systematically filtering the dataset from highly resolved three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics–discrete element model simulations. Particularly, effects of several potential filtered variable markers on filtered IHTC predictions are examined by statistical analysis. We reveal the formulated filtered IHTC correction closure manifests a systematic dependence on filtered interphase temperature difference as an additional marker. The proposed closure shows good agreement with the filtered fine-grid simulation data in an a priori analysis. Moreover, the difference of filtered IHTC corrections deduced from 3D Euler–Euler and Euler–Lagrange simulations is quantified. Finally, the comparative analysis between our proposed filtered IHTC formulation and those in literature is implemented. This work holds a potential to facilitate the development of thermal gas–solid flow modeling.
