Although some parameters relating to the material properties and size of the rotary coating disk have been researched, the effects of both drag force and restitution coefficient on the flow characteristics have yet to be examined. Thus, this paper numerically examines the effect of the inclusion of drag models and particle-particle restitution coefficients on particle dynamics in a rotary disk operating in the rolling regime of the granular bed. Three particle-particle drag models were considered: the Schiller-Naumann, Syamlal-O’Brien, and Gidaspow. The Syamlal-O’Brien and Gidaspow models were both able to successfully simulate particle segregation in a perfect rolling regime, whereas the Schiller-Naumann drag model appeared to be unable to predict the segregation of the particles and the rolling flow regime under the assumed conditions. Four different values of the restitution coefficient were also investigated: 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, and 0.95. The higher restitution values of 0.9 and 0.95 were found to substantially affect flow characteristics, ensuring suitable rolling regime behaviour for the bed during the rotational movement. The lower restitution coefficients of 0.7 and 0.8, on the other hand, indicated that irregular velocity vectors could be obtained in the active region of the granular bed.展开更多

The rebound of a spherical particle after impact on a planar surface was analyzed in detail. Specifically, the coefficient of restitution of the particle under various impact conditions was investigated numerically. This study has been conducted by carrying out a series of FEM-based (finite element method) simulations using ANSYS Autodyn software. First, a summary about the state of the art and the theoretical models for the elastic collisions were reviewed. Afterwards, the impact of an aluminum oxide particle on an aluminum alloy target surface was modeled. Using the Autodyn tool, the results were compared and validated by the experimental results of Gorham and Kharaz [1]. Selection of an appropriate equation of state (EOS) and a strength model for each material had a strong effect on the results. For both materials, the Shock EOS was applied for the final simulations. As the strength model, the Johnson-Cook and the elastic model were used, respectively. The agreement of the obtained numerical results with the experimental data confirmed that the proposed model can precisely predict the real behavior of the particle after the impact, when the material models are properly chosen. Furthermore, the effects of impact velocity and impact angle on the rebound characteristics of the particle were analyzed in detail. It was found that the selection of the exact value of friction coefficient has a drastic effect on the prediction of restitution coefficient values, especially the tangential restitution coefficient.展开更多

In the present work, earlier work (Loha, Chattopadhyay, & Chatterjee, 2013) was extended to study the effect of the elasticity of particle collision on the hydrodynamic behavior of a bubbling fluidized bed filled with 530-~m particles. The Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid model was used to simulate the hydrodynamics of the bubbling fluidized bed, where the solid-phase properties were calculated by applying the kinetic theory of granular flow. To investigate the effect of the elasticity of particle collision, different values of the coefficient of restitution were applied in the simulation and their effects were studied in detail. Simulations were performed for two different solid-phase wall boundary conditions. No bubble formation was observed for perfectly elastic collision. The bubble formation started as soon as the coefficient of restitution was set below 1.0, and the space occupied by bubbles in the bed increased with a decrease in the coefficient of restitution. Simulation results were also compared with experimental data available in the literature, and good agreement was found for coefficients of restitution of 0.95 and 0.99.展开更多

The challenge in measuring the coefficient of restitution is the strong scatter seen in experimental data that results from varying particle properties, i.e. shape and surface roughness, and from imperfections in the experimental technique. To minimize this scattering, a novel experimental setup was developed based on two synchronized high-speed cameras capturing the collision behaviour of a particle in three dimensions. To measure the wet restitution coefficient, which describes particle impact in the presence of a liquid layer in the contact region, additional accuracy can be achieved by measuring the liquid layer thickness by a high-precision optical confocal sensor. The coefficient of restitution was measured for glass particles with two different diameters, at different relative velocities and liquid layer thicknesses, with a focus on small collision velocities and thin liquid layers, using both the improved (three dimensional) and the conventional (two dimensional) approaches to quantify the improvement of the new method's accuracy.展开更多

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate a method for obtaining the coefficient of restitution for oblique collisions and thereby to provide a theoretical guide for collision experiments. In this paper, we derive expressions for the energetic coefficient of restitution (e*) based on general normal contact deformation law, by which the value of e* can be obtained according to the initial conditions. An example shows that the results calculated by the derived expressions are reasonable.展开更多

Free-fall experiments were performed to obtain the restitution coefficient of elastic-plastic γ- Al2O3 granules by impact on the liquid layer, using aqueous solutions of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose with different concentrations for variation of viscosity (1-300 mPa s), In the presence of a liquid layer, increase of liquid viscosity decreases the restitution coefficient and the minimum thickness of the liquid layer at which the granule sticks to the wall. The measured restitution coefficients were compared with experiments performed without liquid layer. In contrast to the dry restitution coefficient, due to viscous losses at lower impact velocity, higher energy dissipation was obtained, A rational explanation for the effects obtained was given by results of numerically solved force and energy balances for a granule impact on a liquid layer on the wall. The model takes into account forces acting on the granule including viscous, surface tension, capillary, contact, drag, buoyancy and gravitational forces. Good agreement between simulations and experiments has been achieved.展开更多

Both the Gidaspow drag model and the EMMS-based drag model were used. The Johnson and Jackson (1987) wall boundary condition was applied to describe the interaction between particles and wall. Based on the experimental system of Li and Kwauk (1994), parametric studies of spec- ularity coefficient (cp = 1.0, 0.6, 0.0005, 0.00005, 0) and particle-wall restitution coefficient (ew = 0.6, 0.9, 0.95, 0.99, 0.999) were performed to evaluate their effects on axial voidage profile, solids flux, meso-scale and heterogeneous structures. Simulation results showed that solid-phase wall boundary condition had little effect on axial voidage profile when the Gidaspow drag model was used. However, the specular- ity coefficient ~a had a pronounced influence on flow behavior when the EMMS-based drag model was used, and a small specularity coefficient (cp = 0.00005, 0) could result in better agreement with exper- imental data. The particle-wall restitution coefficient ew plays but a minor role in the holistic flow characteristics.展开更多

The Eularian-Eularian method with the kinetic theory of granular flow is used to solve the gas-solids two-phase flow in the CFB riser. The wall boundary condition of the riser is defined based on the Johnson and Jackson wall boundary theory (Johnson & Jackson, 1987) with specularity coefficient and particle-wall restitution coefficient.The numerical results show that these two coefficients in the wall boundary condition play a major role in the predicted solids lateral velocity, which affects the solid particle distribution in the CFB riser. And the effect of each of the two coefficients on the solids distribution also depends on the other one. The generality of the CFD model is further validated under different operatin~ conditions of the CFB riser.展开更多

The kinetic theory of granular flow, which accounts for the viscous drag influence on the interstitial liquid phase, was used in combination with two-fluid models to simulate unsteady liquid-solid two-phase flows. We focus on local unsteady features predicted by the numerical models. The solid fraction power spectrum was analyzed. A typical flow pattern, such as core annular flow and particle back-mixing near the wall region of liquid-solid fluidized beds is obtained from this calculation. Effects of the restitution coefficient of particle-particle collisions on the distribution of granular pressure and temperature are discussed. Good agreement was achieved between the simulated results and experimental findings.展开更多

To measure the wet restitution coefficient, which describes particle impact in the presence of a liquid layer in the contact region, additional accuracy can be achieved by measuring the liquid layer thickness by a high-precision optical confocal sensor. The coefficient of restitution was measured for glass particles with two different diameters, at different relative velocities and liquid layer thicknesses, with a focus on small collision velocities and thin liquid layers, using both the improved (three dimensional) and the conventional (two dimensional) approaches to quantify the improvement of the new method's accuracy.

文摘Though gravel cushions are used worldwide in open-pit mines and railway slopes to control the impact of rolling stones,no universal technical standards have been put in place to guide engineers in their correct design,and few laboratory test results are available with which to characterize collisions between rolling stones and a gravel cushion.We carried out a large number of experiments in which rolling stones made of the same material but differently shaped were dropped from various heights onto cushions with various particle sizes and thicknesses.We investigated the characteristics of the resulting collisions,and the relationships between coefficients of restitution(CORs)of blocks with different shape and release height H,cushion thickness h and particle diameter d are obtained through linear fitting method.Orthogonal testing reveals the relative influence of block shape,release height,and the particle size and thickness of the cushion on the collision characteristics,which can assist engineers in designing a gravel cushion suitable to the distribution and weathering characteristics of rolling stones in a specific area.
文摘Although the coefficient of restitution was originally thought to be only a material property, the coefficient of restitution also depends upon initial conditions as well as on the frictional effect for oblique collisions. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate a method for obtaining the coefficient of restitution for oblique collisions and thereby to provide a theoretical guide for collision experiments. In this paper, we derive expressions for the energetic coefficient of restitution (e*) based on general normal contact deformation law, by which the value of e* can be obtained according to the initial conditions. An example shows that the results calculated by the derived expressions are reasonable.

文摘Since the carbon dioxide(CO_(2))capture using solid sorbent is a reversible reaction,the solid sorbent can be regenerated by the desorption process.Therefore,the desorption process is one of the key important processes for the CO_(2)capture system.Traditionally,most of the literature studies focus on the desorption of solid sorbent under an N_(2)atmosphere.However,the desorption process of the solid sorbent is inappropriate in the real system because the system will need another process to separate CO_(2)and nitrogen(N_(2))after the desorption process.This study focused on the CO_(2)desorption of potassium carbonate supported on gamma-alumina(K2CO3/γ-Al_(2)O_(3))in a wet fluidized bed under a steam atmosphere by using the multiphase computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulation.The effects of water thickness and dry restitution coefficient on CO_(2)desorption rate were investigated to provide a realistic particle collision behavior and to explore their effects on CO_(2)desorption phenomena.Moreover,the effect of steam velocity on the hydrodynamic behaviors of fluidization which on CO_(2)desorption rate was studied.The simulated results demonstrated that all the parameters,water thickness,dry restitution coefficient,and steam velocity had significantly affected system hydrodynamics and CO_(2)desorption rate in the wet fluidization desorption process.Furthermore,the effect of desorption temperature on CO_(2)desorption rate was evaluated for finding the appropriate temperature for CO_(2)desorption process of K2CO3/γ-Al_(2)O_(3).The results showed that the appropriate desorption temperature for CO_(2)desorption under steam atmosphere was the temperature over 150℃.
文摘The influence of the thickness of a covering liquid layer and its viscosity as well as the impact velocity on energy loss during the normal impact on a flat steel wall of spherical granules with a liquid layer was studied. Free-fall experiments were performed to obtain the restitution coefficient of elastic-plastic γ- Al2O3 granules by impact on the liquid layer, using aqueous solutions of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose with different concentrations for variation of viscosity (1-300 mPa s), In the presence of a liquid layer, increase of liquid viscosity decreases the restitution coefficient and the minimum thickness of the liquid layer at which the granule sticks to the wall. The measured restitution coefficients were compared with experiments performed without liquid layer. In contrast to the dry restitution coefficient, due to viscous losses at lower impact velocity, higher energy dissipation was obtained, A rational explanation for the effects obtained was given by results of numerically solved force and energy balances for a granule impact on a liquid layer on the wall. The model takes into account forces acting on the granule including viscous, surface tension, capillary, contact, drag, buoyancy and gravitational forces. Good agreement between simulations and experiments has been achieved.

文摘The effect of solid-phase wall boundary condition on the numerical simulation of gas-solid flow in CFB risers containing FCC particles was investigated using the two-fluid model incorporating the kinetic the- ory of granular flow. Both the Gidaspow drag model and the EMMS-based drag model were used. The Johnson and Jackson (1987) wall boundary condition was applied to describe the interaction between particles and wall. Based on the experimental system of Li and Kwauk (1994), parametric studies of spec- ularity coefficient (cp = 1.0, 0.6, 0.0005, 0.00005, 0) and particle-wall restitution coefficient (ew = 0.6, 0.9, 0.95, 0.99, 0.999) were performed to evaluate their effects on axial voidage profile, solids flux, meso-scale and heterogeneous structures. Simulation results showed that solid-phase wall boundary condition had little effect on axial voidage profile when the Gidaspow drag model was used. However, the specular- ity coefficient ~a had a pronounced influence on flow behavior when the EMMS-based drag model was used, and a small specularity coefficient (cp = 0.00005, 0) could result in better agreement with exper- imental data. The particle-wall restitution coefficient ew plays but a minor role in the holistic flow characteristics.

文摘Computational simulation is an important tool for design and improvement of industrial units.Computational fluid dynamics(CFD)coupled with the discrete element method(DEM)has been applied to simulate drying equipment that usually involves gas-solid flow.For reliable results of CFD-DEM simulations,the properties related to the interactions of the material within the industrial equipment,such as the restitution or friction coefficients,must be known.In this study,CFD-DEM was applied to simulate the fluid dynamics inside a conical spouted bed operating with sorghum grains.The physical properties of the particulate phase and the particle-particle and particle-wall interaction parameters were determined by the direct measurement approach and applied to CFD-DEM.The interaction parameters were experimentally determined,including the particle-particle interaction parameters ofη=0.46,μ^(S)=0.79,andμ_(R)=0.70,and the particle-wall interaction parameters ofη=0.56,μ_(S)=0.75,andμ_(R)=0.40.The simulated minimum spouting velocity and characteristic curves were compared with the experimental results.There was good agreement between the simulated and experimental results.
文摘A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of the gas-solids two-phase flow in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) riser is carried out. The Eularian-Eularian method with the kinetic theory of granular flow is used to solve the gas-solids two-phase flow in the CFB riser. The wall boundary condition of the riser is defined based on the Johnson and Jackson wall boundary theory (Johnson & Jackson, 1987) with specularity coefficient and particle-wall restitution coefficient.The numerical results show that these two coefficients in the wall boundary condition play a major role in the predicted solids lateral velocity, which affects the solid particle distribution in the CFB riser. And the effect of each of the two coefficients on the solids distribution also depends on the other one. The generality of the CFD model is further validated under different operatin~ conditions of the CFB riser.
文摘The Eulerian-Eulerian framework was used in the numerical simulation of liquid hydrodynamics and particle motion in liquid-fluidized beds. The kinetic theory of granular flow, which accounts for the viscous drag influence on the interstitial liquid phase, was used in combination with two-fluid models to simulate unsteady liquid-solid two-phase flows. We focus on local unsteady features predicted by the numerical models. The solid fraction power spectrum was analyzed. A typical flow pattern, such as core annular flow and particle back-mixing near the wall region of liquid-solid fluidized beds is obtained from this calculation. Effects of the restitution coefficient of particle-particle collisions on the distribution of granular pressure and temperature are discussed. Good agreement was achieved between the simulated results and experimental findings.
文摘Structural pounding under earthquake has been recently extensively investigated using various impact analytical models.In this paper,a brief review on the commonly used impact analytical models is conducted.Based on this review,the formula used to determine the damping constant related to the impact spring stiffness,coefficient of restitution,and relative approaching velocity in the Hertz model with nonlinear damping is found to be incorrect.To correct this error,a more accurate approximating formula for the damping constant is theoretically derived 5~nd numerically verified.At the same time,a modified Kelvin impact model,which can reasonably account for the physical nature of pounding and conveniently implemented in the earthquake-induced pounding simulation of structural engineering is proposed.

文摘Suitable approaches are needed for rapid and cost-efficient materials development.High-throughput experimentation reduces the identification time of suitable material compositions.One approach is to use small specimen geometries to save additional production costs.Hence,research is continuously being conducted on a new hardness test based on laser-induced shock waves.Thus far,characteristic values from the induced indentations have been extracted,which correlate with hardness and tensile strength.However,the indentation result varies in dependence of the specimen size and mass.This condition hinders the correlation between characteristic values and material properties.Thus,the goal was to induce similar indentation results to minimum specimen size.Herein,different mounting materials and methods were investigated.The created indentations were compared with those induced in large specimens.Essential mounting parameters were derived from the findings.Consequently,small specimens can be used for material characterization by considering these mounting parameters.
