CFD-DEM coupled simulations of Spherical-shaped particles in a Spouted Bed Dryer


Contents




ABOUT

This Research Work constitutes:

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics – Discrete Element Method (CFD-DEM) coupling to research the Spherical-shaped Granular Particle flow in a Spouted Bed Dryer.
  • CFD-DEM Simulations in a Spouted Bed Dryer based on Size (Radius of the particles) and Velocity.



KEYWORDS

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
  • Discrete Element Methods (DEM)
  • CFD-DEM Coupling
  • Spouted Bed Dryer
  • OpenFOAM-5.x
  • LIGGGHTS



RESEARCH

  • Researched the Computational Fluid Dynamics – Discrete Element Method (CFD-DEM) coupling methods for simulating granular particles.
  • Constructed the Spouted Bed Dryer Simulation Model using ANSYS.
  • Implemented necessary node selection and proper meshing across the Spouted Bed Dryer model.
  • Conducted CFD-DEM coupled simulations of spherical-shaped granular particles in the Spouted Bed Dryer model using CFD-DEM solvers - OpenFOAM-5.x and LIGGGHTS.
  • Simulated the behaviour of the particles across the Spouted Bed Dryer using their Size (Radius) and Velocity as parameters.
