The key improvement is to replace a finite element triangulation for the velocity and a “twice coarser' triangulation for the pressure with a rectangular discretization for the velocity and pressure. For code validation, the sedimentation of a single particle in a two dimensional channel was simulated. The results showed that the simulation is independent of the mesh size as well as the time step. The comparison between experimental data and this simulation showed that our code can give a more accurate simulation on the motion of particles than previous DLM code. The code was then applied to simulate the sedimentation of 600 particles in a rectangular box. The falling course is presented and discussed. At the same time, this simulation also demonstrates that the method presented in this paper can be used for solving the initial problems involving a lager number of particles exactly with computing durations kept at acceptable levels.展开更多

The sedimenting behaviors of two particles are presented firstly, which shows that,when the particles are dropped in a viscoealstic fluid, the stable configuration is the one wherethe particles are aligned parallel to the flow direction when the Mach number Mis less than 1 andthe elasticity number E is greater than 1. This agrees well with the known experimental in Ref. [1]and simulation results in Ref. [2]. Our simulations also show that, as in Newtonian fluid, thesedimentation of the particles will be accelerated due to the .interaction between particles in aviscoealstic fluid.展开更多
