Simulace pohybu částic v nakloněném potrubí pomocí kombinace CFD a DEM
Mildner, Michael ; Konfršt, Jiří ; Kysela, Bohuš ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Vlasák, Pavel
Numerická simulace proudění rozplavených hrubozrnných suspenzí (hydrotransport, odlučovače atp.) vyžaduje použití výpočtů pro vícefázové proudění. Za předpokladu toku suspenze (např. vody a pevných částic) v uzavřených profilech bez přístupu vzduchu můžeme úlohu zjednodušit na dvoufázové proudění (voda-pevné částice). Vhodným nástrojem pro výpočet takovéhoto dvoufázového proudění je kombinace metody konečných objemů FVM s metodou diskrétních elementů DEM. Metoda diskrétních elementů je použita na řešení kolizí mezi jednotlivými částicemi, což je nezbytnou podmínkou pro reálné řešení proudění více- koncentrovaných suspenzí. Numerická simulace byla provedena na jednoduché geometrii nakloněného potrubí, kde jsou získané výsledky porovnávány s výsledky získanými na experimentální trase pro transport suspenzí opatřené sklopnou částí.

Application of nuclear techniques in two-phase liquid-solid particles hydrotransport investigations
Zych, M. ; Hanus, R. ; Vlasák, Pavel ; Petryka, L. ; Jaszczur, M.
The paper presents gamma application to two-phase flow investigation in a vertical pipeline, where the flow of solid particles transported by water was examined by use of both: radiotracers and famma-absorption method. The simultaneous use of two methods allows analyzing of important parameters of solid particles hydrotransport. In the described experiments as solid phase the ceramic models representing natural polymetallic ocean nodules were used. Radiotracers allow to track the movements of selected models, representing specified grain size and the designation of its velocity. However gamma-absorption method enables measurement of average solid-phase velocity. For analysis of electrical signal obtained from scintillation detectors the cross-correlation method has been applied.

Experimental investigation of coarse particle conveying in pipes
Vlasák, Pavel ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Konfršt, Jiří ; Krupička, Jan
The advanced knowledge of particle-water mixture flow behaviour is important for safe, reliable, and economical design and operation of the freight pipelines. The effect of the mixture velocity and concentration on the coarse particle – water mixtures flow behaviour was experimentally investigated on an experimental pipe loop of inner diameter D = 100 mm with horizontal, vertical, and inclined pipe sections. Narrow particle size distribution basalt pebbles were used as model of coarse-grained solid particles. The radiometric method was used to measure particle concentration distribution in pipe cross-section. Mixture flow behaviour and particles motion along the pipe invert were studied in a pipe viewing section. The study revealed that the coarse particlewater mixtures in the horizontal and inclined pipe sections were significantly stratified. The particles moved principally in a layer close to the pipe invert. However, for higher and moderate flow velocities the particles moved also in the central part of the pipe cross-section, and particle saltation was found to be dominant mode of particle conveying.

Radioisotope method of compound flow analysis
Petryka, L. ; Zych, M. ; Hanus, R. ; Sobota, J. ; Vlasák, Pavel ; Malczewska, B.
The paper presents gamma radiation application to analysis of a multicomponent or multiphase flow. Such information as a selected component content in the mixture transported through pipe is crucial in many industrial or laboratory installations. Properly selected sealed radioactive source and collimators, deliver the photon beam, penetrating cross section of the flow. Detectors mounted at opposite to the source side of the pipe, allow recording of digital signals representing composition of the stream. In the present development of electronics, detectors and computer software, a significant progress in know-how of this field may be observed. The paper describes application of this method to optimization and control of hydrotransport of solid particles and propose monitoring facilitating prevent of a pipe clogging or dangerous oscillations.

Flow of coarse-grained particles-water mixture in pipes
Vlasák, Pavel ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Konfršt, Jiří ; Krupička, Jan
The advanced knowledge of coarse-grained slurry flow behavior is important for safe, reliable, and economical design and operation of the pipeline transport. The effect of the mixture velocity, solid concentration, and pipe inclination on the coarse-grained particle – water mixtures flow behavior and pressure drop in the turbulent flow regime was experimentally studied in horizontal, vertical, and inclined pipe of inner diameter D = 100 mm. The respective experimental methods, including radiometric methods for particle concentration distribution in pipe cross-section, were used. Graded basalt gravel was used as a model of solid particles. Concentration distribution in the pipe cross-section and motion of particles along the horizontal pipe invert were also studied. The study revealed that the coarse-grained particle-water mixtures in the horizontal and inclined pipes were significantly stratified. The particles moved principally in a layer close to the pipe invert. However, for higher and moderate flow velocities particle saltation becomes dominant mode of particle conveying and particles moved also in the central and upper part of the pipe cross-section.

Numerical simulations of flow over stationary deposit
Chára, Zdeněk ; Vlasák, Pavel ; Kysela, Bohuš ; Konfršt, Jiří
The paper deals with a water flow in a horizontal, circular pipe of inner diameter 40 mm with a stationary deposit. The deposit was formed by spheres of diameter d=6 mm. The thickness of the deposit was about two sphere diameters. The flow was experimentally studied by the PIV method and COMSOL Multiphysics 4.4 was used as tool for numerical simulations as well. Two approaches were used to create the stationary deposit. In the first one was the deposit was replaced by a rough wall with different values of the roughness parameter ks. In the second case the deposit was created from the identical spherical particles. The results of the simulations and the experimental data are compared.

Some results of theoretical and experimental studies on slurry flows of coarse solid materials in vertical pipelines
Berman, V. ; Kril, S. ; Vlasák, Pavel
The paper presents the results of theoretical and experimental investigations of the pressure gradient for flow of a mixture of large solids particles and water in straight vertical pipelines. The mathematical model of vertical two-phase flow was developed. Based on the developed model and experimental data of the solid particles liquid and liquid relative velocity, the functional dependence of the pressure gradient on the corresponding parameters was derived. This method was generalized for hydraulic transport of a broad category of solid particles conveyed in water as a function of the average size and concentration. Comparisons of our computations with experimental data for the corresponding pressure gradients are also presented.

Concentration distribution of coarse-grained particle-water mixture in horizontal pipe
Vlasák, Pavel ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Konfršt, Jiří ; Krupička, Jan
The paper describes the results of coarse-grained particle-water mixture measurements in an experimental pipeline loop of inner diameter 100 mm. Graded basalt pebbles of mean diameter 11 mm, conveyed by water, were investigated. The concentration distribution measurements were carried out with application of gamma-ray based device. Presented results refer to the effect of mixture velocity and overall concentration on chord-averaged concentration and local concentration distribution in the horizontal pipe. The study revealed that the coarse-grained particle-water mixtures were significantly stratified, solid particles moved principally close to the pipe invert, for higher and moderate flow velocities saltation becomes dominant mode of the sediment transport.

Improvements of saltation model
Kharlamova, Irina ; Vlasák, Pavel
The present paper introduces a new model of a bed-load transport. The model simulates a particle motion in the channel with turbulent flow and rough bed. The effects of mutual interaction of conveyed particles with carrier liquid, with bed particles, and also with other conveyed particles are taken into account. The model predicts average saltation characteristics, e.g. saltation length and height, particles distribution in vertical direction, and mass rate of conveyed particles per unit area of channel bed.

Coarse-grained particles conveying along a pipe bed
Vlasák, Pavel ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Konfršt, Jiří ; Kysela, Bohuš
The paper describes the results of a flow visualisation of model coarse-grained fully stratified particle-water mixtures. Investigation was focussed on study of the particle behaviour and carrier liquid and conveyed particles local velocities. Glass balls and washed graded pebble gravel of mean diameter of 6 mm were conveyed by water in a horizontal smooth pipe loop with a transparent pipe viewing section of inner diameter 40 mm. Particle movement along the pipe invert and particulate stationary bed, created by two layers of spherical particles of the same size as the conveyed particles, was studied. The effect of stationary bed on local velocity values of the carrier liquid and conveyed particles were determined. It was conducted that the maximum liquid velocity is significantly shifted from pipe centre to a higher position in the flow pattern with stationary bed.
