effect of sub-grid scales on large eddy simulation of particle deposition in a turbulent channel flow

Large-eddy Simulation of a Particle- Laden Turbulent Channel Flow

Large-eddy simulations of a vertical turbulent channel flow with 420,000 solid particles are performed in order to get insight into fundamental aspects of a riser flow. The question is addressed whether collisions between particles are important for the flow statistics. The turbulent channel flow corresponds to a particle volume fraction of 0.013 and a mass load ratio of 18, values that are rel...

Large Eddy Simulation of Particle Deposition in a Vertical Turbulent Channel Flow

The deposition of particles in fully-developed turbulent channel flow has been calculated using large eddy simulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Calculations were performed for Reynolds numbers of 11,160 and 79,400 (based on bulk velocity and hydraulic diameter); subgrid-scale stresses were parameterized using the dynamic eddy viscosity model. Particle motion was governed by...

Large-eddy simulation and wall modelling of turbulent channel flow

We report large-eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent channel flow. This LES neither resolves nor partially resolves the near-wall region. Instead, we develop a special near-wall subgrid-scale (SGS) model based on wall-parallel filtering and wall-normal averaging of the streamwise momentum equation, with an assumption of local inner scaling used to reduce the unsteady term. This gives an ordinary ...

Investigations of Three- Dimensional Turbulent Cavity Flow Using Large Eddy Simulation Approach

Large-eddy simulation of particle-laden channel flow

Large-eddy simulation of particle-laden turbulent channel flow is investigated for several subgrid models and Stokes numbers with the objective to investigate the accuracy of the subgrid models studied with respect to particle behavior. It is shown that the wall-normal particle velocity and particle velocity fluctuations are reduced compared to DNS, if the filtered fluid velocity calculated in ...

Large-eddy simulation of turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubes submerged in an emulated atmospheric boundary-layer

Turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubic obstacles has been numerically investigated using large-eddy simulation. The simulations have been performed using high-performance computations with local cluster systems. The array of cubes are fully submerged in a simulated deep rough-wall atmospheric boundary-layer with high turbulence intensity characteristics of environmental turbulent fl...
