Description

The objective of this project is to develop an accurate model describing turbulent flows of coal slurries, rapid flows of granular coal-air mixtures, and turbulent coal combustion processes. The other main objective is to develop a computer code incorporating the new model. Experimental verification of the foundation of the model is also included in the study. In this report the thermodynamically consistent, rate dependent model for turbulent two-phase flows analysis was used and the phasic fluctuation energy dissipation rates are evaluated. Further progress on the application of the kinetic model for rapid flows of granular materials including the frictional energy … continued below

Description

The objective of this project is to develop an accurate model describing turbulent flows of coal slurries, rapid flows of granular coal-air mixtures, and turbulent coal combustion processes. The other main objective is to develop a computer code incorporating the new model. Experimental verification of the foundation of the model is also included in the study. In this report the thermodynamically consistent, rate dependent model for turbulent two-phase flows analysis was used and the phasic fluctuation energy dissipation rates are evaluated. Further progress on the application of the kinetic model for rapid flows of granular materials including the frictional energy losses were made. The velocity, the fluctuation energy and the solid volume fraction profiles for granular flows down a vertical channel were obtained. The results were compared with the molecular dynamic simulations of Savage and good agreement was obtained. The computational model was used and the rapid granular flows around a rectangular block in a channel were analyzed. The effect of bumpy wall on flow of granular materials was analyzed. The special case of Couette flow was studied. The preliminary results obtained is quite encouraging. Further progress was made in the experimental study of mono-layer simple shear flow device. Preliminary data concerning the shearing of 12 mm multi-color glass particles are obtained.
