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 »« less

Prediction of solids circulation rate in a spouted bed

Conference Sullivan, C ; Benkrid, A ; Caram, H

Several models (including that of an inviscid fluid, that of a Coulomb plastic with and without the condition of coaxiality, and some which are purely kinematic) have been applied to the annular region of a spouted bed in an attempt to determine the streamlines of the solids flow. Under certain boundary conditions, each model gives essentially the same solution (to within a multiplicative constant, the total solids circulation rate, G/sub a/) which is in qualitative agreement with data taken on a half-bed using stroboscopic photography. This indicates that the circulation patterns in the bed are strongly dominated by the boundarymore »« less
Vane Rheology of Cohesionless Glass Beads

Journal Article Daniel, Richard C ; Poloski, Adam P ; Saez, Avelino E - Powder Technology, 181(3):237-248

The rheology of a single coarse granular powder has been studied with shear vane rotational viscometry. The torque required to maintain constant rotation of a vane tool in a confined bed of glass beads (with a mean particle size of 203 micrometers) is measured as a function of vane immersion depth and rotational speed. The resulting torque profiles exhibit both Coulombic behavior at low rotational rates and fluid-like behavior at high rotational rates. Analyzing vane shaft and end effects allows the flow dynamics at the cylindrical and top and bottom disk surfaces of vane rotation to be determined. Disk surfacesmore »« less

Coarse-Grid Simulation of Reacting and Non-Reacting Gas-Particle Flows

Conference Loezos, Peter N ; Srivastava, Anuj ; Sundaresan, Sankaran

The principal goal of our project, funded under the DOE Vision 21 Virtual Demonstration Initiative is virtual demonstration of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) performance. Virtual demonstration of CFB performance requires modeling and simulation of the entire spectrum of gas-particle flow conditions ranging from dense phase flows in standpipes to dilute phase flow conditions of risers. We had proposed a virtual demonstration tool, which is based on the open-domain Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code MFIX (Multiphase Flow with Interphase eXchange), originally developed at NETL (National Energy Technology Laboratory). MFIX is based on a model framework in which the gas and particlemore »« less
Viscosity, granular-temperature, and stress calculations for shearing assemblies of inelastic, frictional disks

Journal Article Walton, O R ; Braun, R L - J. Rheol.; (United States)

Employing nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics methods the effects of two energy loss mechanisms on viscosity, stress, and granular-temperature in assemblies of nearly rigid, inelastic frictional disks undergoing steady-state shearing are calculated. Energy introduced into the system through forced shearing is dissipated by inelastic normal forces or through frictional sliding during collisions resulting in a natural steady-state kinetic energy density (granular-temperature) that depends on the density and shear rate of the assembly and on the friction and inelasticity properties of the disks. The calculations show that both the mean deviatoric particle velocity and the effective viscosity of a system of particles with fixedmore »« less
