Abstract Simulations of 2D gas-particle flows in a vertical riser using a mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian approach are addressed. The model for the interstitial gas phase is based on the Navier-Stokes equations for two-phase flow with a coupling term between the gas and solid phases due to drag forces. The motion of particles is treated by a Lagrangian approach and the particles are assumed to interact through binary, instantaneous, non-frontal, inelastic collisions with friction. In this paper different particle clustering effects in the gas-particle flow is investigated.

This paper deals with an Eulerian-Lagrangian model for dispersed multiphase flow in which all the interactions of any kind are taking into account. The fluid phase and particles interactions are two way coupled while all the collisions between the particles or between the particles and the walls are calculated. The Navier-Stokes equations (fluid phase continuity and momentum equations including exchange from the particle to the fluid is modeled to simulate the effect of the presence of the particles in the fluid phase) are solved on a staggered Eulerian grid by a finite volume discretisation type method. The originality of the Lagrangian approach used here for the particles motion, lies in the way of managing the collisions which are calculated using simple mechanical models such as a spring, dashpot and friction slider at the contact points following the Distinct Element Method DEM [1]. In the Lagrangian stage, motion’s calculation of each discrete particle including collisions effects is generally time consuming. In the context of this paper we shall show how to optimized the contacts tracking algorithm in an efficient way to increase significantly the capability of the DEM.
