Shock and contact interaction with a simple cubic array of particles (in EN)
Shock-particle interaction is a fundamental pillar of multiphase compressible flows that has been studied at length for many decades. However, little attention has been paid to the interaction of particles with a contact interface that follows a shock in shock tube experiments and applications relating to blast waves. Presently, the phenomenon is studied at the microscale via particle resolved simulations of shock contact systems interacting with a structured array of particles as well as isolated particles. Simulations are conducted at particle volume fractions of 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, and 40% at three contact Mach numbers. Additionally, the diaphragm position is varied, which controls the timing of the shock arrival time in relation to the contact arrival time. The modification to the drag on these stationary particles by the contact is analyzed and compared to the compressible Maxey–Riley–Gatignol model, which is adequate for the single particle cases but does not account for fluid mediated particle–particle interactions.
