NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF SUDDEN-EXPANSION PARTICLE-LADEN FLOWS USING THE EULERIAN LAGRANGIAN APPROACH

ABSTRACT
A Lagrangian-Eulerian model for the dispersion of solid particles in sudden-expansion flows is reported and validated. The fluid was calculated based on the Eulerian approach by solving the Navier-Stokes equations. A Lagrangian model is also applied, using a Runge-Kutta method to obtain the particle trajectories. The effect of fluid turbulence upon particle dispersion is taken into consideration through a statistical model. The predicted axial mean velocity and turbulent kinetic energy of both phases agree well with experimental data reported by Sommerfield.
