A disturbance corrected point-particle approach for two-way coupled particle-laden flows on arbitrary shaped grids

A general, two-way coupled, point-particle formulation that accounts for the disturbance created by dispersed particles in obtaining undisturbed fluid flow field needed accurate computation of force closure models is presented. Specifically, equations presence are first derived based on inter-phase momentum coupling a finite-volume formulation. Solution to obtained using two approaches: (i) direct velocity and pressure reaction due at computational control volumes, (ii) linearized, approximate field, specifically applicable low Reynolds number flows. In both approaches, computed used obtain necessary model aerodynamic forces particle. The approaches thoroughly evaluated single particle an unbounded wall-bounded uniform, anisotropic, as well unstructured grids show motion coupling. approach straightforward can be applied any numerical particle-laden flows including Euler-Lagrange Euler-Euler formulations.
