Simulation and Modeling of Bubble Motion in an Electrolytic Bath of Soderberg Pot
نویسنده
چکیده
In Aluminium manufacturing the Soderberg pot is widely used. The study explains about the bubble motion in cryolite liquid in a Soderberg pot anode face using comprehensive VOF multiphase model in FLUENT, under the action of gravitation. The distribution of bubbles introduced under the anodes of an aluminum reduction cell at the initial time has fixed size. 2D simulation results are reported for four cases with different initial conditions for the bubbles, physics and geometries. © 2010 Jordan Journal of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.

Numerical Simulation of Scaling Effect on Bubble Dynamics in a Turbulent Flow around a Hydrofoil
A Lagrangian-Eulerian numerical scheme for the investigation of bubble motion in turbulent flow is developed. The flow is analyzed in the Eulerian reference frame while the bubble motion is simulated in the Lagrangian one. Finite volume scheme is used, and SIMPLEC algorithm is utilized for the pressure and velocity linkage. The Reynolds stresses are modeled by the RSTM model of Launder. Upwind ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Separation Bubble on Elliptic Cylinders Using Three-equation k-? Turbulence Model
Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...

In this work, rising of a single bubble in a quiescent liquid under microgravity condition was simulated. The related unsteady incompressible full Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a conventional finite difference method with a structured staggered grid. The interface was tracked explicitly by connected marker points via hybrid front capturing and tracking method. One field approximatio...
