Title: Investigation of the influence of frictional viscosity regularization on quasi-static gas-solid flow predictions in a conical spouted bed with non-porous draft tube

Abstract

The stress in the quasi-static particle flow is often modeled through the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. In the extension to complex three-dimensional flows, a granular viscosity is introduced through a tensorial rheology and the deviatoric frictional stress tensor is assumed aligned with the strain rate tensor. This granular viscosity is singular as the shear rate approaches zero, regardless of the local rheology. We discuss the influence of regularizing such a frictional viscosity on the particle circulation rate and other measured characteristics in a laboratory scale draft tube spouted bed. Here, the friction between particles is modeled either with a constant Coulomb rheology or using a local particle pressure and strain-rate based friction known as μ(I)-rheology. The predictions appear very dependent on the regularization parameter introduced by the method. The mean properties of the flow (e.g. circulation and pressure drop) monotonically converge towards the measurements when the regularization parameter tends to zero. In other respects, the two regularization models regarded in this study induced similar hydrodynamics within the spouted bed of interest. But the analysis of the conditional averages of the inertial number and the fraction of the solids in the quasi-static regime shows that the extent and staticity of the quasi-staticmore » region is sensitive to changes to the regularization parameter or regularization function.« less
