Abstract
En 中文
In this work we present a comprehensive investigation of state-of-the-art closure models employed to represent interphase momentum, thermal, and work exchange between the gas and particulate phases for Euler–Lagrange (EL) simulations in shock-driven flows. A complete list of closures for the force, torque, heat transfer, and work exchange models is provided. In particular, the present work includes a stochastic closure for the particle-to-particle variation in the quasi-steady force and a deterministic closure for particle-to-particle variation in the added mass force in an EL framework. These variations arise due to the presence of neighboring particles and particle–particle interactions. To investigate the importance of each closure term, we carry out fully three-dimensional simulations for a planar shock propagating over a random bed of inert particles. The primary goal is to evaluate the role of each closure term on the gas dynamic features (such as transmitted and reflected shock locations) and particle curtain features (such as upstream and downstream curtain locations). To this end, thirteen cases are considered, with each case progressively including a closure model with the goal to identify and quantify its contribution to the simulated dynamics. We show that the volume fraction dependence of the mean force models plays an important role in generating wave-like instabilities that lead to concentration bands. In addition, fluctuations in quasi-steady and added mass forces primarily decrease the internal instabilities that tend to enhance local volume fraction variations. Particle rotation is primarily due to inter-particle collisions, is generally weak, and does not play an important role in the translational dynamics for the present configuration. Inter-phase heat transfer has a strong effect on gas phase temperature, slows down the transmitted and reflected shocks, and decreases the width of the curtain. The absence of a work-coupling model fails to conserve the total energy, greatly under-predicts the gas temperature which in turn affects the particle dynamics.
