Ripple formation on a particle bed sheared by a viscous liquid. Part 1. Steady flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new approach to studying ripple formation in steady flow is proposed, based on a model for the erosion and deposition of the particles. Higher shear stresses at the crests lead to a loss of particles from there, which can suppress the instability induced by fluid inertia. This model accounts for recent observations that ripples do not grow when the fluid viscosity is increased, a behaviour not present in the classical approach based on an algebraic dependence of the particle flux on the bottom shear stress.

The explosive viscous liquid becomes inject to warhead by discharge system. The injection device is consisted of a piston to move down and leads the viscous fluid through the cylindrical pipe towards the end of the duct. Then the viscous fluid leads into a convergent path that will be injected to the warhead or other injection equipment. In this project, the path of viscous fluid flow is divide...

We perform a two-dimensional molecular-dynamics study of a model for sheared bidisperse granular systems under conditions of simple shear and Poiseuille flow. We propose a mechanism for particle-size segregation based on the observation that segregation occurs if the viscous length scale introduced by a liquid in the system is smaller than of the order of the particle size. We show that the rat...
متن کاملOnset and cessation of motion in hydrodynamically sheared granular beds.
We performed molecular dynamics simulations of granular beds driven by a model hydrodynamic shear flow to elucidate general grain-scale mechanisms that determine the onset and cessation of sediment transport. By varying the Shields number (the nondimensional shear stress at the top of the bed) and particle Reynolds number (the ratio of particle inertia to viscous damping), we explore how variat...

Experiments were conducted in a liquid-solid circulating fluidized bed with different viscous liquids and particles to study the hydrodynamics, average solid hold up and solid circulation rate. The effects of operating parameters, i.e., primary liquid flow rate in the riser, auxiliary liquid flow rate, total liquid flow rate and viscosity of the liquid were studied for solids of different densi...
