First assessment of computations of turbulent bubbly flow and particulate flow with the COMMIX-M program
- Argonne National Lab., IL (United States). Energy Technology Div.
The COMMIX-M computer code, which describes steady-state and transient single- and multicomponent flows in engineering systems, has been implemented to simulate suspension flows in laminar regimes and turbulent and bubbly particulate flows. This report presents a synopsis of the present code`s capabilities, with particular emphasis on the recent development of turbulence models, and explains in detail the modifications necessary to simulate particulate flows and bubbly flows. First results of computations of turbulent bubbly and particulate flows are then given and compared with results of computations reported in the literature and with preliminary experimental results obtained at the Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe (Germany).
