Abstract:

This study is concerned with the prediction of particles’ velocity in a dilute turbulent gas-solidboundary layer flow using a fully Eulerian two-fluid model. The closures required for equationsdescribing the particulate phase are derived from the kinetic theory of granular flows. Gas phaseturbulence is modeled by one-equation model and solid phase turbulence by MLH theory. Resultsof one-way and two-way coupled approaches are compared with the available experimental andnumerical results. Results show that one-way coupled approach is more efficient for particulatevelocity prediction in dilute flows. But, if the gas-phase flow characteristics are desired, the twowaycoupled approach should be used. Effects of free stream velocity on the coupling arediscussed.

Boundary Layer Adaptivity for Transonic Turbulent Flows

Simulations of turbulent flows are challenging and require tight and varying mesh spacings near the walls that depend on the turbulence models used. Semi-structured meshes are often used in the turbulent wall boundary layers due to their ability to be strongly graded and anisotropic. To reduce the discretization errors in the solution, an adaptive approach becomes essential due to the lack of g...

Specific volume coupling and convergence properties in hybrid particle/finite volume algorithms for turbulent reactive flows

We investigate the coupling between the two components of a Large Eddy Simulation / Probability Density Function (LES/PDF) algorithm for the simulation of turbulent reacting flows. In such an algorithm, the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) component provides a solution to the hydrodynamic equations, whereas the Lagrangian Monte Carlo Probability Density Function (PDF) component solves for the PDF of...

Simulation of particle diffusion and heat transfer in a two-phase turbulent boundary layer using the Eulerian-Eulerian approach

This work investigates the response of two-dimensional, turbulent boundary layer characteristics over a flat plate to the presence of suspended particulate matter. Both phases are assumed to be interacting continua. That is, the carrier fluid equations are considered to be coupled with the particle-phase equations. A finite-difference technique with non-uniform grid has been employed for the so...

Receptivity and non-uniqueness of turbulent boundary layer flows

The classical theory of firmly attached time-mean turbulent boundary layers, exhibiting fully developed broadband turbulence, in the limit of large Reynolds numbers, Re, is extended in two ways, where the focus lies on their stability and receptivity. At first, the description of non-unique equilibrium flows having a so-called moderately large velocity deficit is generalised as weak spanwise va...
