Abstract

It has been analyzed that the particle motion inside a vertical channel while passing across diamond shaped obstacles produces severe effects on the fluid. Particle interaction with outer boundary, internal obstacles and with the fluid is inspected. An Eulerian based approach using a computational mesh is used in which solid particles are allowed to move freely in fluid domain. Fluid and particle interaction inside the whole domain is carried using Fictitious boundary method (FBM). A multigrid finite element method combined with the fictitious boundary method (FEM-FBM) is used for the simulation of in-compressible fluid flow along with rigid particle falling and colliding inside a fluid domain. A collision model to treat the Particle-obstacle and particle-wall interactions is used to avoid particle overlapping. The particulate flow is evaluated using an open source multigrid finite element solver FEATFLOW. Numerical investigations are executed in view of different particle positions and different alignment of diamond shaped obstacles. Effects on the movement of the particle and on the interaction of the fluid-particle system due to particle-wall, particle-Obstacle, particle-fluid interactivity has been analyzed.
