Flow Field Numerical Simulation on a Continuous Powder Surface Modifying Machine for Non-Metallic Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the two-phase flow field in the SLG continuous powder surface modifying machine for non-metallic material, which have been widely used in the powder engineering of China, a three-dimensional CFD model is developed to make the numerical simulations of the inner gas-particle flow field based on the industrial SLG-3/600 type modifying machine. By the help of the Fluent software, the gas velocity field, pressure field, particle concentration field and moving trace of the two-phase flow field are obtained. The simulation results indicate that these fields are distributed non-uniformly in the SLG modifying machine. Besides, a shortcut phenomenon is observed during the moving of the particles. The numerical simulations can not only depict the flow characteristics inside the SLG modifying machine, but also present useful reference to the mechanism study and optimal design to further improve its structure and working parameters in the future.
