The flow field in the leaching tank for the vanadium extraction in the stone coal was simulated by the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software. The flow field physical model was established by GAMBIT and the agitating area was processed by k-ε turbulence model and multiple reference frame method. The mixing effect was discussed under the two conditions: (1) Double impellers rotate in the same direction. (2) Double impellers rotate in different directions. The result shows that the mixing effect of the double impellers which rotate in different directions is better under the same condition. Its distribution of the turbulent kinetic energy is more reasonable, and it can ease the sediment at the bottom. The simulation results have certain reference value for the research of the law of the inner flow field so as to optimize its structure in the stirred reaction vessel.

In order to study the flow state and distribution of the solid particle in the flow field of petroleum tar cutting pump, the Computational Fluid Dynamic method was used to conduct the numerical simulation of liquid-solid two-phase flow based on Euler-Euler multiphase flow model and standard turbulence equation. The influence of flow rate, revolution speed and tilt angle of stator slot on streamline and distribution of solid concentration were analyzed. The result shows:strong swirl exists in inlet segment in small flow rate, but flow rate has little influence on the solid concentration, so it has no obvious influence on the cutting and grinding efficiency.Grinding efficiency could be improved by increasing revolution speed, but the requirement for the equipment would be higher, so the revolution speed should be determined reasonably. Reducing the tilt angle of stator slot is favor for improving the grinding and cutting efficiency, so it could provide some reference value for the optimal design.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method was applied to study the flow field in cylindrical stirred tank mixing non-Newtonian fluid with double layer combined impeller of upper-straight-blade and lower-inclined-blade. The laminar model and the multiple reference frame (MRF) were employed to simulate the three-dimensional flow field in stirred tank with double layer combined impeller rotating at a constant speed of 200 r/min mixing the mixture of glycerin and water centrally、eccentrically and relative eccentrically, and three different flow structures in stirred tank were obtained. Analyzing the velocity vectors, the velocity contours and the axial、radial and tangent velocity distribution curves, the rule of velocity field with the blade combined form and the stirring structure was discussed. The research provided the valuable reference for the design and practical application of the laminar stirred tank.

Abstract Solid suspension characteristics were predicted by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation in a stirred tank driven by a dual rigid-flexible impeller and a dual punched rigid-flexible impeller. An Eulerian-Eulerian approach, standard k-ε turbulence model, and multiple reference frames (MRF) technique were employed to simulate the solid-liquid two-phase flow, turbulent flow, and impeller rotation in the stirred tank, respectively. The CFD results showed that dual punched rigid-flexible impeller could increase the axial velocity and turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, and decrease the quantity of sediment solid particles compared with dual rigid-flexible impeller. Less impeller power was consumed by dual punched rigid-flexible impeller compared with dual rigid-flexible impeller at the same impeller speed. It was found that punched rigid-flexible impeller was more efficient in terms of solid suspension quality than dual rigid-flexible impeller at the same Pw. The simulated results for the axial solid concentration were in good agreement with the experimental data.

In this study, a non-stirred Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) testing device is developed to measure the flow field in a solid–liquid two-phase centrifugal pump. The pump casing and impeller are made of an organic glass material. Two types of impellers are designed considering different structure parameters. The performance curves of the pump are obtained for the different impellers at a rotating speed of 900 rpm with particle concentrations of 0%, 3%, 5%, and 10%. The flow fields for water and a solid–liquid two-phase mixture for the two impellers are measured utilizing the PIV system in a centrifugal rotating frame at the designed condition. The distribution of the particles, together with its influence on the performance of the different impellers, is analyzed. From a comparison of the relative velocity vector fields, the following can be concluded. First, the pump with a double arc-shaped profile demonstrated a more uniform and stable flow field distribution and higher performance than that with a single arc profile. Secondly, the solid particles were distributed mainly at the outlet of the impeller and volute wall, whereas the concentration distribution of the larger particles tended to match the pressure surface. This research can provide theoretical guidance for the design and optimization of two-phase flow centrifugal pumps.

Solid-liquid flow-induced erosion wear prediction in a typical three-dimensional pump casing is dealt with. The two-phase flow field inside the three-dimensional pump casing is simulated using finite element modeling of mono-size particulate flow. Using this flow field and the concentration along the casing surface, wear rate is calculated using empirically determined wear coefficients. Wear rate along the three-dimensional casing surface and the location of high erosion rate are examined. Results show that the wear rate distribution is high near the cut water region (the region separating the total flow from the discharge flow). Wear is non-uniformly distributed and is high at some local spots. Even along other radial sections, wear rate varies significantly from the sides to the centerline of the casing.
