Simulation Results

A laboratory scale jet flotation column system was designed and air inflation for flotation column was provided by jet aerator with a chamber. In order to understand interior flow field distribution of jet aerator and flotation column, two-phase turbulent flow model was established by use of commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT 6.3.26. Modeling of the flow field was firstly established with GAMBIT 2.3.16; standard k-ε turbulence model and multiphase flow model MIXTURE were adopted for gas-liquid two-phase numerical simulation about jet aerator and flotation column. The simulation results show that gas-liquid two-phase mixing have been established by the cavity entrainment vortex flow in jet aerator with a chamber, and the distortion was really occurred although the reversed cone feed inlet have been designed, at the same time non-uniform distribution of air-bubble was also simulated. Simulation results can help to optimize the structure of the jet flotation column.

Simulation Results

In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics–discrete element method (CFD–DEM) coupling method is established to simulate the starch granule injection by coupling CFD and DEM. Then a gas–solid two-phase pulsed jet system is designed to capture the flow field trajectory of particle injection (colored starch with a mean diameter of 10.67 [Formula: see text]m), and the image is processed by color moment and histogram. Finally, the simulation results are compared with the experimental results, and the following conclusions are drawn. The numerical simulation results show that with the increase of injection pressure, the injection height increases gradually. When the injection pressure reaches above 0.4 MPa, the increase of injection height decreases. The experimental images show that the larger the pressure (i.e., the greater the initial velocity), the faster the velocity of particle distribution in the space, and the injection heights with the injection pressures of 0.4 MPa and 0.5 MPa are close, which is consistent with the result from the FLUENT numerical simulation based on CFD–DEM.

The Relationship

In this paper, the physical model for flow field of exhaust pipe has been established on the condition of a liquid-gas exhaust pipe from cars using ethanol gasoline. The numerical simulation results for internal flow field of car exhaust pipe are compared with the experimental data. It is showed that the outside free vortex tangential velocity and axial velocity of single-phase flow field have been simulated better. It is indicated in the simulation of separation process of steam-water two-phase: The relative error, comparing the relationship between flow and separation efficiency with measured of that is less than 7%, and the same to 15%, comparing the relationship between flow and separation ratio with measured of that. Thereby, it is confirmed correctly for the mathematical model founded for numerical calculation and the algorithm selected.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of mesh type on numerical simulating the dispersion performance of micro-powders through a home-made tube. METHODS With the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, a powder dispersion tube was meshed in three different types, namely, tetrahedral, unstructured hexahedral and prismatic-tetrahedral hybrid meshes. The inner flow field and the kinetic characteristics of the particles were investigated. Results of the numerical simulation were compared with literature evidences. RESULTS The results showed that using tetrahedral mesh had the highest computational efficiency, while employing the unstructured hexahedral mesh obtained more accurate outlet velocity. The simulation results of the inner flow field and the kinetic characteristics of the particles were slightly different among the three mesh types. The calculated particle velocity using the tetrahedral mesh had the best correlation with the changing trend of the fine particle mass in the first 4 stages of the new generation impactor (NGI) (R2 = 0.91 and 0.89 for powder A and B, respectively). Conclusions Mesh type affected computational time, accuracy of simulation results and the prediction abilities of fine particle deposition.

Calculation fluid dynamics software Fluent was used to conduct three-dimensional numerical simulation on gas-liquid two-phase flow field in a wet flue gas desulfurization scrubber. The k-ε model and SIMPLE computing were adopted in the analysis. The numerical simulation results show that the different gas entrance angles lead to internal changes of gas-liquid two-phase flow field, which provides references for reasonable parameter design of entrance angle in the scrubber.

The Stability

The wavy vortex flow in the plain model was studied by experimental measurement; the preliminary feature of wavy vortex flow was obtained. This flow field in the plain model was also studied by numerical simulation. The reliability of numerical simulation was verified by comparing with the experimental and numerical simulation results. To study the slit wall effect on the wavy vortex flow regime, another two models with different slit number were considered; the slit number was 6 and 12. By comparing the wavy vortex flow field in different models, the axial fluctuation of Taylor vortices was found to be different, which was increased with the increasing of slit number. The maximum radial velocity from the inner cylinder to the outer one in the 6-slit number was increased by 12.7% compared to that of plain model. From the results of different circumferential position in the same slit model, it can be found that the maximum radial velocity in slit plane is significantly greater than that in other planes. The size of Taylor vortices in different models was also calculated, which was found to be increased in the 6-slit model but was not changed as the slit number increased further.

Simulation Results

During the splicing process of pneumatic splicer, the principle of yarn splicing is closely related to the flow field inside the splicing chamber. This paper presents a numerical simulation of the flow char-acteristics inside the splicing chamber of the pneumatic splicer. A three-dimensional grid and the realizable tur¬bulence model are used in this simulation. The numerical results of veloc¬ity vectors distribution inside the chamber are shown. Streamlines starting from the two air injectors are also acquired. Based on the simulation, the principle of yarn splicing of the pneumatic splicer is discussed. The airflow in the splicing chamber can be divided into three regions. In addition, the simulation results have well sup¬ported the principle of yarn splicing of pneumatic splicer claimed by the splicing chamber makers.
