Rheology model for turbulent suspension flow through a horizontal channel

  • Published:
Thermophysics and Aeromechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

A model was developed for solids-liquid flow with any solids concentrations. The model includes the two-phase flow equations for the entire flow. It includes also the rheology law and the particle transfer equation with account for interphase slipping. The statistical model of turbulence accounts for the turbulence modulation by particles. The model was tested on a problem about a steady state flow with suspended heavy particles in a horizontal pipe. Comparison with experimental data and other accurate simulations demonstrated that this new model is useful for predicting the features of turbulent suspension flows. The secondary flows in a pipe show three-layered structure of the two-phase flow.
