CFD study of Jet Impingement Test erosion using Ansys Fluent® and OpenFOAM®

The initial aim of this study was to compare OpenFoam and Ansys Fluent in order to verify OpenFoam’s Lagrangian Library and erosion capabilities. However, it was found that previous versions of Fluent have been providing wrong results for the discrete phase and the differences with the latest version (Ansys Fluent 15) are shown. A Submerged Jet Impingement Test is an effective method for studyi...

A Comparison of Cfd Software Packages’ Ability to Model a Submerged Jet

Particle erosion from slurry flow is a common problem in many industrial applications, including the mining and the oil and gas industry. Erosion modelling is a known complex problem, and consists of three equally important parts; fluid flow modelling, particulate flow modelling, and erosion modelling. It is the first of these, the fluid flow, which is analysed here. The paper compares three di...

Modeling particle-loaded single fiber efficiency and fiber drag using ANSYS–Fluent CFD code

In this paper, we present a methodology for simulating pressure drop and collection efficiency of a filter medium during instantaneous particle loading using the ANSYS–Fluent CFD code, enhanced with inhouse subroutines. The simulations are comprised of a numerical solution of the Stokes equations for obtaining the air flow field, and Lagrangian particle tracking, for determining the particle co...

Improving Cyclone Efficiency by Recycle and Jet Impingement Streams

In this paper a new process is presented for improving efficiency of cyclone de-dusting systems. The cyclone is coupled with a specially designed cylindrical chamber which includes a rotating tube inside it with air impinging nuzzles, drilled on the peripheral surface of the tube. The nuzzles help in pushing and throwing the particles to the outer radius distances during downward flow of du...
