颗粒在宾汉流体中沉降的直接数值模拟

Direct numerical simulation of particle sedimentation in a Bingham fluid

A. R. Koblitz, S. Lovett, N. Nikiforakis

摘要:

通过改变固体体积分数$ϕ$和屈服数$Y$的直接数值模拟,研究了无限长圆柱体在静止粘塑性流体中的稀悬浮液的沉降效率和沉降稳定性。对于足够大的$Y$,我们发现增加$ϕ$的沉降效率更高,类似于在剪切稀化流体中发现的,而与在牛顿流体中发现的相反。悬浮液在载液中保持静止的临界屈服数被发现与$ϕ$单调增加,而过渡到沉降被发现是扩散的:在相同的悬浮液中,颗粒簇可能会沉降,而更多的孤立颗粒保持被捕。在这个制度中,复杂的流动功能中观察到的沉降悬浮液,包括附近的沉降集群的孤立粒子的动员。了解这一制度,并过渡到一个完全逮捕的状态,是相关的许多工业和自然的问题,涉及静态流动条件下的粘塑性悬浮液的沉降。

英文摘要:

The settling efficiency, and stability with respect to settling, of a dilute suspension of infinite circular cylinders in a quiescent viscoplastic fluid is examined by means of direct numerical simulations with varying solid volume fraction, $ϕ$, and yield number, $Y$ . For $Y$ sufficiently large we find higher settling efficiency for increasing $ϕ$, similar to what is found in shear-thinning fluids and opposite to what is found in Newtonian fluids. The critical yield number at which the suspension is held stationary in the carrier fluid is found to increase monotonically with $ϕ$, while the transition to settling is found to be diffuse: in the same suspension, particle clusters may settle while more isolated particles remain arrested. In this regime, complex flow features are observed in the sedimenting suspension, including the mobilization of lone particles by nearby sedimentation clusters. Understanding this regime, and the transition to a fully arrested state, is relevant to many industrial and natural problems involving the sedimentation of viscoplastic suspensions under quiescent flow conditions.
