Application of a Novel Turbulence Generator to Multiphase Flow Computations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The application of a novel turbulent inflow generator is presented using a 3D Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) method. For simulation the in-house 3D CFD program Free Surface 3D (FS3D) is applied, which solves the incompressible Navier Stokes Equations for flows with free surfaces using a Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) technique. Three different numerical setups are presented, demonstrating the wide range of application of the new inflow generator. For chosen cases qualitatively comparisons are made between the new and a former implemented turbulence generator. Another more general focus is put on the high influence of turbulent flow fields on simulation outcomes, which justifies the use of computationally intensive inflow generators. Further, information about the performance on the NEC SX-8 platform, where all the simulations were performed, are revealed.

Multiphase flow and tromp curve simulation of dense medium cyclones using Computational Fluid Dynamics
Dense Medium Cyclone is a high capacity device that is widely used in coal preparation. It is simple in design but the swirling turbulent flow, the presence of medium and coal with different density and size fraction and the presence of the air-core make the flow pattern in DMCs complex. In this article the flow pattern simulation of DMC is performed with computational fluid dynamics and Fluent...

In this study, turbulent compressible gas flow in a rectangular micro-channel is numerically investigated. The gas flow assumed to be in the subsonic regime up to Mach number about 0.7. Five low and high Reynolds number RANS turbulence models are used for modeling the turbulent flow. Two types of mesh are generated depending on the employed turbulence model.

In this paper, an approximate axisymmetric method is developed which can reliably calculate fully viscous hypersonic flow over blunt-nosed bodies. In this method, a Maslen’s second-order pressure expression is used instead of the normal momentum equation. The combination of Maslen’s second-order pressure expression and viscous shock layer equations is developed to accurately and efficiently com...
