Numerical Simulation of Erosion-Corrosion in the Liquid-Solid Two-Phase Flow

Erosion-corrosion of liquid-solid two-phase flow occurring in a pipe with sudden expansion in cross-section is numerically simulated in this paper. The global model for erosion-corrosion process includes three main components: the liquid-solid two-phase flow model, erosion model and corrosion model. The Eulerian-Lagrangian approach is used to simulate liquid-solid two-phase flow, while the stochastic trajectory model was adopted to obtain properties of particle phase. Two-way coupling effect between the fluid and the particle phase is considered in the model. The accuracy of the models is tested by the data in the reference. The comparison shows that the model is basically correct and feasible.

A novel incompressible finite-difference lattice Boltzmann equation for particle-laden flow

In this paper, we propose a novel incompressible finite-difference lattice Boltzmann Equation （FDLBE）. Because source terms that reflect the interaction between phases can be accurately described, the new model is suitable for simulating two-way coupling incompressible multiphase flow The 2-D particle-laden flow over a backward-facing step is chosen as a test case to validate the present method. Favorable results are obtained and the present scheme is shown to have good prospects in practical applications.

RESEARCH ON THE EFFECT OF PARTICLE OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL SHEAR FLOW

The two-way coupling model was adopted to study the! two-dimensional gas-solid mixing layer. The flow was simulated by pseudo-spectral method and particles were traced with Lagrangian method. It is found that the concentration and the Stokes number of the particles have distinct effect on the flow not only accounting for the influence of the flow on the particles, but also the particles' counteraction on the flow. The particles accelerate the dispersion of the vorticity and inhibit the variance of the flow and diminish the intensity of the coherent structure. The lifetime of the vortex is shortened. The pattern of particles' distribution is similar to the results from one-way coupling model.

Aerothermal-aeroelastic two-way coupling method for hypersonic curved panel flutter

A method to compute aerothermal-aeroelastic two-way coupling for hypersonic curved panel flutter is proposed. The aero-therrno-elastic governing equations of a simply-supported two dimensional curved panel are developed based on the von K＇arrn＇an geometrically non-linear theory. The Galerkin approach is used to simplify the equations into discrete forms, which are solved by the fourth-order Ronger-Kutta method. The third-order piston theory is applied to the aerodynamics. The Eck- ert＇s reference temperature method and the panel heat flux formula are used to compute the aerodynamic heat flux. Several important effects are included, namely 1） two-way coupling considering the effect of elastic deformation on aerodynamic heating and aerodynamic heating on stiffness of structure, 2） accumulation of the aerodynamic heating in real cruise, 3） arbitrary, non-uniform, in-plane and through-thickness temperature distributions, and 4） the effect of initial deformation of curved panel on the flight time to the onset of flutter. Compared with the results of aerothermal-aeroelastic one-way coupling, it is revealed that the two-way coupling which induces decrease of the flight time to the onset of flutter is more dangerous. In addition, importance should be attached to this method in actual analysis.

HYDRODYNAMICS STABILITY OF BICKLEY JET WITH PARTICLE LADEN FLOW

The stability of Bickley jet with particle laden flow is investigated numerically. The stability characteristics are calculated for various Stokes numbers and particle concentrations. The results confirm the author＇s early calculations, which also shows that the numerical program is reliable. It is further shown that there is a critical value for the effect of Stokes number, which is about 2. The most damped mode occurs when Stokes number is of order of 10 for different particle concentrations and depends weakly on the wave number. The difference in the eigenfunctions and its derivatives between the particle-laden flow and the clean gas flow is insignificant for fine particles, while the difference for coarse particles is significant.

Effect of Stokes number on energy modulation of the fluid in turbulent particle-laden channel flows

The effect of Stokes number on the kinetic energy(KE)budget in particle-laden turbulent channel flows is examined by conducting two-way coupled direct numerical simulations using the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach.The friction Reynolds number of the single phase channel flow is Re_(τ)=180,the particle mass loading and volume fraction areφ_(m)=0.2,φ_(v)≈10−4,and the Stokes numbers range from St^(+)=14–92.The statistics show that due to the presence of solid particles,the mean velocity is reduced in the vicinity of the wall but enhanced in the outer region,and the off-streamwise intensity of fluctuated velocity and the Reynolds stress are reduced in the whole channel.The analysis on the budgets of turbulent kinetic energy(TKE)finds that the presence of particles induces a significant reduction on both the production and dissipation rates.With increasing Stokes number St^(+),both the production and dissipation rates exhibit non-monotonical trends,i.e.,both initially decrease for St^(+)<40 and then transit to growth after St^(+)>40.This suggests that the particle-induced suppression on TKE production and dissipation is the strongest nearly at St^(+)=40.It is also found that particles act as an additional sink/source term in the budgets of both mean-flow kinetic energy(MKE)and TKE.In addition,we investigate the influence of St^(+)on the“zero point”which indicates the balance of exchanging energy between the particle and fluid phases.It is shown that with increasing St^(+),the“zero point”moves toward the wall,suggesting that the position of perfect following between particle and fluid is closer to the wall with larger St^(+).The present results reveal the Stokes number effects on the spatial transport mechanisms of MKE,TKE in turbulent channel flows laden with inertial particles.

A study on turbulence modulation via an analysis of turbulence anisotropy-invariants

We investigate the turbulence modulation by particles in a turbulent two-phase channel flow via an analysis of turbulence anisotropy-invariants. The fluid turbulence is calculated by a large eddy simulation with a point-force two-way coupling model and particles are tracked by the Lagrangian trajectory method. The channel turbulence follows the two-component turbulence state within the viscous sub-layer region and outside the region the turbulence tends to follow the right curve of the anisotropy-invariant. The channel turbulence, interacting with heavy particles, is modulated to the two-component turbulence limit state near the wall and is separate from the axisymmetric turbulence state in the turbulence anisotropy-invariants map. The fluctuations of streamwise component are transferred to the other two components and hence the anisotropy decreases due to particle modulation. The study has deepened the understanding of the turbulence modulation mechanism in two-phase turbulent flows.
