Numerical Simulation of Dense Gas-Solid Multiphase Flows Using Eulerian-Eulerian Two-Fluid Model
NUMERICAL STUDY OF BUBBLING FLUIDIZED BEDS: INFLUENCE OF IMMERSED TUBES, EXTRACTION METHODS AND AVERAGING PERIODS
Numerical simulations using the Two Fluid Model were performed for 2D gas-solid fluidized beds with and without immersed horizontal tubes. The results were compared with experimental data available in the literature. Different techniques of extracting the time-averaged values of pressure drop and bed expansion and the influence of averaging time were investigated. Furthermore, the influence of tubes on the solids motion and distribution were studied
Free-Surface Lattice-Boltzmann Simulation on Many-Core Architectures
AbstractCurrent advances in many-core technologies demand simulation algorithms suited for the corresponding architectures while with regard to the respective increase of computational power, real-time and interactive simulations become possible and desirable. We present an OpenCL implementation of a Lattice-Boltzmann-based free-surface solver for GPU architectures. The massively parallel execution especially requires special techniques to keep the interface region consistent, which is here addressed by a novel multipass method. We further compare different memory layouts according to their performance for both a basic driven cavity implementation and the free-surface method, pointing out the capabilities of our implementation in real-time and interactive scenarios, and shortly present visualizations of the flow, obtained in real-time
