SIMULATION OF SUDDEN-EXPANSION AND SWIRLING GAS-PARTICLE FLOWS USING A TWO-FLUID PARTICLE-WALL COLLISION MODEL WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE WALL ROUGHNESS

A two-fluid particle-wall collision model with consideration of wall roughness is pro- posed.It takes into account the effects of the friction,restitution and in particular the wall roughness, and hence the redistribution of Reynolds stress in different directions,the absorption of turbulent en- ergy from the mean motion and the attenuation of particle motion by the wall.The proposed model is used to simulate sudden-expansion and swirling gas-particle flows and is validated by comparing with experimental results.The results show that the proposed model gives better results than those obtained by the presently used zero-gradient condition.Hence,it is suggested that the proposed model should be used as the wall boundary condition for the particle phase in place of the presently used boundary condition.
