Two-phase non-Newtonian hydrodynamic modeling of slurries

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6120194
The two-phase hydrodynamic theory of fluid/solid flow has been extended to incorporate the constitutive relationship for power-law non-Newtonian behavior. A model has been developed to predict the spatial and temporal variations in solids and liquid velocities and concentration of non-Newtonian slurries under high shear rates in diesel engine injection systems. Comparisons between the present non-Newtonian two-phase theory and the conventional theory have also been made. Selected results for diesel injection nozzle applications are presented. The results from this model can be used to calculate directly the erosion rates at the nozzle boundaries and the solids loading at the nozzle exit.
