Stationary- and sliding beds in pipe flows of settling slurry
Matoušek, Václav ; Krupička, Jan ; Chára, Zdeněk
Investigations are discussed on the effect of stationary- and sliding beds on a behavior of settling slurry flows. Results are presented of our recent experiments with two fractions of ballotini in a 100-mm-pipe loop. Experimental work contained measurements of concentration profiles and velocity profiles. The experimental results for flows with stationary deposits are compared with predictions using our formulae for solids transport and bed friction in layered flows. CFD simulations are included to validate the velocityprofile measurements and to verify the bed roughness predictions in the flows with stationary beds. Furthermore, the measured velocity profiles are compared to profiles predicted using the log law of the wall with boundary shear velocities determined from the linear distribution of shear stress across the pipe flow. The approach is successful in the flow below the upper wall of the pipe but fails above the top of the deposit where the stress distribution is different as verified by the CFD simulation. The concept of the linear-distribution of shear stress is well applicable in flows with sliding beds. An example is given of a solution for a partially-stratified flow with sliding bed using the 1-D Stress- Distribution based Model.

Analysis of Shook-Gillies model using radiometrically measured concentration profiles in settling-slurry pipe
Pěník, Vojtěch ; Matoušek, Václav ; Krupička, Jan
In 1994, R.G. Gillies and C.A. Shook published their predictive model for concentration profiles in pipe flows of heterogeneous settling slurries. The model has not been validated in the literature yet. In this paper, the model is analysed and compared with own concentration profiles measured using a radiometic device presented at the last Symposium on Anemometry. The results show that key parameters of the model are insufficiently evaluated and their use in the model rather unclear. The model should be validated using a representative database of experimentally determined concentration profiles. On this base, the key parameters in the model should be specified in more details.

Transport hrubých částic v nenewtonovských suspenzích
Vlasák, Pavel ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Konfršt, Jiří
The paper deals with flow behaviour of slurries containing colloidal, clay, dust and also coarse-grained particles. The slurry flow behaviour changes form Newtonian to non-Newtonian in dependence on the solid phase concentration and composition, especially on the contents of colloidal particles. Flow behaviour of fluidic fly and bottom ash slurries, clay and sand slurries was experimentally investigated with respect to the solids composition, volumetric concentrationa and slurry velocity. The re-circulation pipe loop with smooth stainless steel pipes of the inner diameters D = 17.5, 26.8 and 36 mm was used for measuring the slurry flow parameters. Also the effect of time and intensity of shearing was studied for time dependent fluidic ash slurries
