Massively parallel direct simulation of multiphase flow
نویسنده
چکیده
Our understanding of multiphase physics and the associated predictive capability for multiphase systems are severely limited by current continuum modeling methods and experimental approaches. This research will deliver an unprecedented modeling capability to directly simulate three-dimensional multiphase systems at the particle-scale. The model solves the fully coupled equations of motion governing the fluid phase and the individual particles comprising the solid phase using a newly discovered, highly efficient coupled numerical method based on the discrete-element method and the Lattice-Boltzmann method. A massiveIy parallel implementation will enable the solution of large, physically realistic systems.

A Solver for Massively Parallel Direct Numerical Simulation of Three-Dimensional Multiphase Flows
We present a new solver for massively parallel simulations of fully three-dimensional multiphase flows. The solver runs on a variety of computer architectures from laptops to supercomputers and on 65536 threads or more (limited only by the availability to us of more threads). The code is wholly written by the authors in Fortran 2003 and uses a domain decomposition strategy for parallelization w...
متن کاملMultiphase 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...
متن کاملAn efficient parallel-computing method for modeling nonisothermal multiphase flow and multicomponent transport in porous and fractured media
This paper presents an efficient massively parallel scheme for modeling large-scale multiphase flow, multicomponent transport and heat transfer in porous and fractured reservoirs. The new scheme is implemented into a parallel version of the TOUGH2 code and the numerical performance is tested on a Cray T3E-900 (a distributed-memory parallel computer with 692 processors) and IBM RS/6000 SP (a dis...
