Analytical Expressions

A simple two-phase model for steady fully developed flows of particles and water over erodible inclined beds is developed for situations in which the water and particles have the same depth. The rheology of the particles is based on recent numerical simulations and physical experiments, the rheology of the fluid is based on an eddy viscosity, and the interaction between the particles and the fluid is through drag and buoyancy. Numerical solutions of the resulting differential equations and boundary conditions provide velocity profiles of the fluid and particles, the concentration profile of the particles, and the depth of the flow at a given angle of inclination of the bed. Simple approximations permit analytical expressions for the flow velocities and the depth of flow to be obtained that agree with the numerical solutions and those measured in experiments.

Two-phase flows are regularly involved in the heat and mass transfer of industrial processes. To ensure the safety and efficiency of such processes, accurate predictions of the flow field and phase distribution by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are required. Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of large-scale two-phase flow problems are not feasible due to the computational costs involved. Therefore the Euler-Euler framework is often employed for large-scale simulations which involves macro-scale modelling of the turbulent shear stress and the interphase momentum transfer. As a long term objective, the research activities at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) pursue the development of general models for two-phase flows which are based on first principles and include less empiricism. Part of this effort is focused on the development of an algebraic interfacial area density model (AIAD) which enables the simulation of two-phase flows with general morphologies including bubble, droplet and stratified flow regimes with the two-fluid approach. In this work a short overview of the AIAD model is given and recent developments are presented. The modelling of the interfacial drag in free surface flows is of particular interest and subject to ongoing research. Apart from empirical correlations, which are limited to certain flow regimes, different models for the local calculation of the interfacial drag have been developed. The latter approach is followed in the AIAD model and has recently been subject to modifications which are presented and validated as a part of this study. Furthermore, special attention is paid to the turbulence treatment at the phase boundary of free surface flows. A general damping of the gas-side turbulent fluctuations in the near interface region has been described previously in the literature but has not yet found its way into eddy viscosity turbulence models. In this work, a previously proposed damping source term for the k-ω turbulence model is validated. Model validation is performed by comparing the simulation results to experimental data in case of stratified, countercurrent air-water flow in a closed channel.
