Simulation of particle transport in inclined pipeline by using combination of CFD and DEM
Mildner, Michael ; Konfršt, Jiří ; Kysela, Bohuš ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Vlasák, Pavel
Numerical flow simulation of scattered coarse-grained suspensions (hydrotransport, separators, etc.) requires the use of calculations for multiphase flow. Assuming the suspension flow (eg. water and solid particles) in closed profiles without air access, the task can be simplified to a two-phase flow (water-solid particles). A suitable tool for calculating such two-phase flow is the combination of the finite volume method FVM, with the discrete element method DEM. The discrete element method is used to solve collisions between individual particles, which is a prerequisite for a real solution of more concentrated suspension flow. Numerical simulation was performed on a simple geometry of inclined pipeline, where the obtained results were compared with the results obtained on the experimental slurry transport route equipped with a foldable part.
