A three-dimensional numerical simulation of particle motion in a pipe with a rough bed is presented. The simulation based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) employs the hybrid diffuse bounce-back approach to model moving boundaries. The bed of the pipe is formed by stationary spherical particles of the same size as the moving particles. Particle movements are induced by gravitational and hydrodynamic forces. To evaluate the hydrodynamic forces, the Momentum Exchange Algorithm is used. The LBM unified computational frame makes it possible to simulate both the particle motion and the fluid flow and to study mutual interactions of the carrier liquid flow and particles and the particle–bed and particle–particle collisions. The trajectories of simulated and experimental particles are compared. The
Particle Tracking method is used to track particle motion. The correctness of the applied approach is assessed.
The methods of multiphase flow dynamics modelling are known. The theoretical calculation of the flow dynamic parameters of multiphase medium is based on the assumption of the mutual interaction between the phases, which becomes essentially manifested if mass concentration of the dispersed phase exceeds the value of 20 %. In many cases this limit seems to be even too high. The results of the experimental investigation of moderate and dense suspension flow confirm that the influence of solid particles on the suspension flow behaviour and the rheological parameters can be significant even for the mass concentration less than 20 %. In this paper the model of multiphase flow, which in based on the joint solution of vector equations of dispesed particle motion in Lagrange coordinates and the equation of continuum in Euilerian coordinates is presented. The method is applied to axially symmetrical flow of incompressible fluid in the rectangular channel and to flow in the zigzag channel. In the case of zigzag channel the numerical scheme is proposed. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
