Abstract
This study aims to investigate density changes and deposition thickness in two-phase fluid flow through a porous medium using a discrete phase model. The deposition process is a complex phenomenon influenced by gravity forces, which cause particles to settle downward. The methodology employed in this study enables particle tracking, sediment layer analysis, and characterization based on sediment particle count. As the sediment layer thickens, the distance between the fluid and the wall decreases, leading to changes in the flux reaching the fluid. Deposition results in a reduction in the concentration of sediment materials in the fluid. Porous media offer an effective means of inducing deposition, which grows uniformly over time. Critical factors such as turbulence, dissipation rate, momentum, eddy formation, and particle diameter significantly influence deposition formation. The findings indicate that at a Reynolds number of 50000, the deposition thickness is lower compared to a Reynolds number of 1000, and the deposition thickness is also lower for a 1 µm particle diameter compared to 500 µm. The introduction of an oscillating frequency to the porous medium increases particle energy and promotes porosity-oriented behavior. Specifically, a frequency of 500 Hz demonstrates enhanced cleaning compared to 50 Hz. The porous medium can be effectively cleaned using oscillating frequencies.
