Numerical Simulation and Modelling of the Forces Acting on Single and Multiple Non-Spherical Particles
Résumé
The paper deals with gas-solid turbulent flows carrying non-spherical particles. The main objective of the present paper is to compute the hydrodynamics forces on non-spherical particles as a function of the particle orientation, for different particle shapes and a large range of particle Reynolds number. Two Direct Numerical Simulations at the scale of the particle are used, i.e. a body-fitted approach and a viscous penalty approach, in the case of a uniform flow with a single ellipsoidal particle. Results are compared with several correlations from the literature and a new proposal for the drag coefficient is given. The study is then extended to the case of a lattice of non-spherical particles to measure the pressure drop and to connect it with the drag coefficient.
