A NEW TURBULENCE MODULATION IN SECOND-ORDER MOMENT TWO-PHASE MODEL AND ITS APPLICATION TO HORIZONTAL CHANNEL

A new second-order moment two- phase turbulence model accounting for particle wake effect was established and used to simulate gas-particle flow in a horizontal channel for different values of wall roughness. The results show that compared with the model without considering the particle wake effect, the present model gives simulation results agreeing much better with the experimental results for the gas turbulence modulation, but the predicted results for particle motion with the two kinds of models are quite close.     

A SECOND-ORDER MOMENT TURBULENCE MODEL FOR POWER LAW FLUID WITH PARTICLES

The USM-θ model of power law fluid for dense two-phase turbulent flow was developed, which combines the unified second-order moment model for two-phase turbulence with the particle kinetic theory for the inter-particle collision. This model was used to simulate the turbulent flow of power law fluid single-phase in pipe. It is shown that the USM ? θ model has better prediction result than the k f ? ε f?kp?εp?θ model. The USM ? θ model was then used to simulate the dense two-phase turbulent up flow of power law fluid with particles. With the increase of the flow exponent, the velocities of power law fluid and particles increase near the pipe centre. Comparison between the two-phase flow of power law fluid-particle and of liquid-particle indicates that the axial fluctuation velocity of fluid phase and particle phase in liquid-particle two-phase flow is smaller than that in the power law fluid two-phase flow, but the two-phase velocities of power law fluid-particle and liquid-particle are close to each other.

A NUMERICAL MODEL FOR 3-D FLOW IN OPEN CHANNELS

A 3-D model based on the Reynolds equations with closed k-ε turbulence model ispresented in this paper,which can be used to predict surface water flow in open channels.In-stead of the“rigid lid”approximation,the solution of the free surface equation is implemented inthe velocity-pressure iterative procedure on the basis of the conventional SIMPLE method.Thismodel was used to compute the flow in rectangular channels with trenches dredged across the bot-tom.The velocity,eddy viscosity coefficient,turbulent shear stress,turbulent kinetic energyand elevation of the free surface over the trenches dredged in the main channel,can be obtained.The computed results are in good agreement with existing experimentaing data.
