Population Balances Coupled with the CFD-Code FeatFlow
نویسندگان
چکیده
The simulation of drop size distributions in stirred liquid-liquid systems is studied. The simulation is realized via the coupling of the CFD code FeatFlow with the population balance solver Parsival. It is shown how such a coupling may be constructed and the properties of the coupled solver are critically analyzed.

متن کاملNumerical Methods to Simulate Turbulent Dispersed Flows in Complex Geometries
Population Balance is a prominent ingredient of modeling transport phenomena. Population Balance Equations (PBEs) are coupled to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate turbulent dispersed flows. One of the arising challenges is to obtain an appropriate discretization technique for the internal coordinate of PBEs, so the resulting equations can lead to acceptable solutions with affordabl...
متن کاملSources of Parallel Inefficiency for Incompressible CFD Simulations (Research Note)
Parallel multigrid methods are very prominent tools for solving huge systems of (non-)linear equations arising from the discretisation of PDEs, as for instance in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The superiority of multigrid methods in regard of numerical complexity mainly stands and falls with the smoothing algorithms (‘smoother’) used. Since the inherent highly recursive character of many ...
