On the role of fluids in stick-slip dynamics of saturated granular fault gouge using a coupled computational fluid dynamics-discrete element approach: STICK-SLIP IN SATURATED FAULT GOUGE

Journal Article Dorostkar, Omid ; Guyer, Robert A. ; Johnson, Paul A. ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth

The presence of fault gouge has considerable influence on slip properties of tectonic faults and the physics of earthquake rupture. The presence of fluids within faults also plays a significant role in faulting and earthquake processes. In this study, we present 3-D discrete element simulations of dry and fluid-saturated granular fault gouge and analyze the effect of fluids on stick-slip behavior. Fluid flow is modeled using computational fluid dynamics based on the Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible fluid and modified to take into account the presence of particles. Analysis of a long time train of slip events shows that themore »« less

Memory access optimization for particle operations in computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method simulations

Journal Article Vaidhynathan, Deepthi ; Sitaraman, Hariswaran ; Grout, Ray ; ... - Particuology

Computational Fluid Dynamics - Discrete Element Method is used to model gas-solid systems in several applications in energy, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries. Computational performance bottlenecks often limit the problem sizes that can be simulated at industrial scale. The data structures used to store several millions of particles in such large-scale simulations have a large memory footprint that does not fit into the processor cache hierarchies on current high-performance-computing platforms, leading to reduced computational performance. This paper specifically addresses this aspect of memory access bottlenecks in industrial scale simulations. The use of space-filling curves to improve memory access patterns is describedmore »« less
Detailed biomass fast pyrolysis kinetics integrated to computational fluid dynamic (CFD) and discrete element modeling framework: Predicting product yields at the bench-scale

Journal Article Houston, Ross ; Oyedeji, Oluwafemi ; Abdoulmoumine, Nourredine - Chemical Engineering Journal

Fast pyrolysis is an intricate process due to the variability and anisotropy of lignocellulosic biomass and the complicated chemistry and physics during conversion in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor (BFBR). The complexity of biomass fast pyrolysis lends itself well to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element (DEM) analysis, which promises to reduce experimental time and its associated cost. This work investigated switchgrass fast pyrolysis simulated by computational fluid dynamics coupled with a discrete element method to track individual reacting biomass particles throughout a bench-scale BFBR reactor. We accounted for the fast pyrolysis chemistry through a comprehensive reaction scheme withmore »« less
ALFA Field Testing of a Dual Sonar System for Detecting Woody Debris

Dataset Kasper, Jeremy

Field testing of a dual sonar system for detecting woody debris in natural settings was conducted at the Tanana River Test Site (TRTS) in Nenana, AK between 8/26 and 9/23, 2015. The TRTS is approximately 65 miles south of Fairbanks and is well suited for testing hydrokinetic energy generation technologies and environmental monitoring technologies such as the dual sonar system used here in realistic settings.
