A computational model for coal transport and combustion. Quarterly technical progress report, March 1, 1992--May 31, 1992

Description: In the period of March 1, 1992 to May 30, 1992 considerable progress has been made in the development of the stress transport model for rapid granular flows in a rotating frame of reference. The derivation of thermodynamically consistent constitutive equations were complete. It was shown that the model contains the existing kinetics theories as special limiting cases. The model predictions for the special case of rapid simple shear flows were evaluated and the results are compared with the simu… more

A computational model for coal transport and combustion. Quarterly technical progress report, June 1, 1992--August 31, 1992

Description: Further progress has been made in formulation of the thermodynamically consistent, rate dependent model for turbulent two-phase flows. The thermodynamically admissible constitutive equations were derived, and the case of a simple shear flow was studied. The kinetic model for rapid flows of granular materials, which includes frictional losses, was used for studying gravity flow down an inclined chute. Some typical velocity profiles were obtained and the results were compared with the data of Sav… more

A computational model for coal transport and combustion. Quarterly technical progress report, September 1, 1992--November 30, 1992

Description: The thermodynamically consistent, rate dependent model for turbulent two-phase flows was used to study the special case of a simple shear. The variations of the fluctuation kinetic energy with the solid volume fraction was evaluated. The kinetic model for rapid flows of granular materials, which includes frictional losses, was used for studying gravity flow down an inclined chute. The velocity profiles were obtained and the results were compared with the data of Johnson et al. The effect of dia… more

A computational model for coal transport and combustion. Quarterly technical progress report, March 1, 1994--May 31, 1994

Description: In the period of March 1, 1994 to May 31, 1994, the earlier developed computational models for analyzing flow of granular materials in ducts and passages with bumpy walls were used to analyze Couette and chute flows. The results were compared with the experimental data and good agreement was observed. Further results on the flows of gas-solid mixtures in vertical ducts were obtained. A computational model for analyzing two-phase flow was developed, and the phasic mean velocity and fluctuation e… more
