Effect of Particle Finite Size on Gas Turbulent Flow

Abstract:

Dynamic mesh and moving wall technique were employed to simulate the unsteady flow field of moving particle with finite size. For freely moving particle, it does not come into being particle wake. Middle particle can move straightforward outlet, but left and right particles move disorderly in a restricted region. Vortex location varies with the change of particle location. Turbulence energy and pressure is decreased gradually from inlet to outlet. But for moving particle with slip velocity between gas and particle, particle wake comes into being. Turbulence enhancement by particle wake effect is studied by numerical simulation of gas turbulent flows passing over particle under various particle sizes, inlet gas velocities, gas viscosity, gas density and the distance of particles.
