Computational Fluid Dynamic Modelling of Fully-Suspended Slurry Flows in Horizo...
Messa, Gianandrea Vittorio; Yang, Qi; Rasteiro, Maria da Graça; Faia, Pedro M.; Matoušek, Vaclav; Silva, Rui C.; Garcia, FernandoThis research work is a significant step toward further understanding of the β-σ two-fluid model for the simulation of fully-suspended slurry flows in pipeline systems, with the goal of enhancing its potential for scientific research and engineering applications. Particularly, the focus of the study is the characterization and handling of the two main empirical coefficients of the model, namely, β and σ, which ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling of Liquid–Solid Slurry Flows in Pipeline...
Messa, Gianandrea Vittorio; Yang, Qi; Adedeji, Oluwaseun Ezekiel; Chára, Zdeněk; Duarte, Carlos Antonio Ribeiro; Matoušek, Václav; Rasteiro, Maria G.Slurry pipe transport has directed the efforts of researchers for decades, not only for the practical impact of this problem, but also for the challenges in understanding and modelling the complex phenomena involved. The increase in computer power and the diffusion of multipurpose codes based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have opened up the opportunity to gather information on slurry pipe flows at the l...
