Simulation of particle motion in a closed conduit validated against experimental data
 Dolanský, Jindřich
Motion of a number of spherical particles in a closed conduit is examined by means of both simulation and experiment. The bed of the conduit is covered by stationary spherical particles of the size of the moving particles. The flow is driven by experimentally measured velocity profiles which are inputs of the simulation. Altering input velocity profiles generates various trajectory patterns. The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) based simulation is developed to study mutual interactions of the flow and the particles. The simulation enables to model both the particle motion and the fluid flow. The entropic LBM is employed to deal with the flow characterized by the high Reynolds number. The entropic modification of the LBM along with the enhanced refinement of the lattice grid yield an increase in demands on computational resources. Due to the inherently parallel nature of the LBM it can be handled by employing the Parallel Computing Toolbox (MATLAB) and other transformations enabling usage of the CUDA GPU computing technology. The trajectories of the particles determined within the LBM simulation are validated against data gained from the experiments. The compatibility of the simulation results with the outputs of experimental measurements is evaluated. The accuracy of the applied approach is assessed and stability and efficiency of the simulation is also considered.

Simulation of saltation motion using LBE based methods
 Dolanský, Jindřich
The numerical model of the motion of the circular particle close to the bed in an open channel with a rugged bed based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is presented. The LBM is used as a DNS approach in which hydrodynamic forces are expressed as sum of contributions from fluid elements interacting with the moving particle. The corresponding numerical simulation for the saltation motion which represents a dominant mode of the bed load transport is developed. Flow is driven by the logarithmic velocity profile at the inlet of a two dimensional channel with a bed formed by semi-circles of variable radii in a bed of particles. Translational and rotational movements of the particle are induced by gravitational force on one hand, and by hydrodynamic forces on the other hand. The LBE (lattice Boltzmann equation) based simulation provides the opportunity to study the behavior of saltation motion in the moderate and high Reynolds number regimes. Most of the input parameters, including boundary conditions or flow conditions, are adjustable within a range of values. Stability issues of the simulation are considered and a resolution using a combination of different LBE models and the extension of computational resources is proposed. Finally, an enhancement of the simulation for more complex processes is suggested.
