THE INFLUENCE OF SECONDARY FLOW IN A TWO-PHASE GAS-SOLID SYSTEM IN STRAIGHT CHANNELS WITH A NON-CIRCULAR CROSS-SECTION

ABSTRACT
The paper considers two-phase gas-solid turbulent flow of pneumatic transport in straight horizontal channels with a non-circular cross-section. During turbulent flow, a specific flow phenomenon, known as secondary flow, occurs in these channels in the cross-sectional plane. The existence of strong temperature gradients in the cross-sectional plane of the channel or the cases of curved channels result in the appearance of the secondary flow of the first kind. However, in straight channels with a non-circular cross-section, in the developed turbulent flow mode, a secondary flow, known as Prandtl's secondary flow of the second kind, is induced. The paper presents a numerical simulation of a developed two-phase turbulent flow by using the PHOENICS 3.3.1 software package. Reynolds stress model was used to model the turbulence. The paper provides the data on the changes in turbulent stresses in the channel cross-section as well as the velocities of solid particles transported along the channel.
