Transient Multiphase Flow Simulation using Eulerian Granular Multiphase Model in ANSYS Fluent | #11

In this tutorial, I simulate the case of sediment transport in a channel using Eulerian Granular Multiphase Model. Some sand is considered at the channel bed of which motion is simulated using ANSYS Fluent 18.

very clear presentation. thank you so much for taking the effort of making a tutorial starting from the very beginning.

Dear Sir, I want to express my sincere appreciation to you for imparting knowledge for free on youtube. I have watch series of your tutorials on youtube, they are very helpful. Thank you sir. Please I am having a very serious issue with my research. Part of my research is on Two-Phase Flow Boiling. Unfortunately, i have search through and watch most videos on youtube but i cannot find any ANSYS FLUENT Modelling for Two-Phase Flow Boiling in a vertical pipe of uniform heat flux. The Fluid is Water-Gas flow. As part of my preliminary research, I must learn and know how to model Flow Boiling in a vertical pipe sing ANSYS FLUID FLOW (FLUENT), showing different flow regimes (i.e bubble, slug, churn, annular and wispy annular). Until I learn this, I will not be able to proceed and face the main aim/objectives of my research. Please sir, I will be very grateful if you can help me with the ANSYS FLUID FLOW (FLUENT) Tutorials for Two-Phase Flow Boiling in a Vertical Pipe of a uniform heat flux, showing different flow regimes. The Fluid is Water-Gas flow. If I should understand how to model this, then it will be a better start point for me to tackling my project. Thanking you in anticipation of your kind help.

I modelled a fluid sediment model in a flume with a circular pier at the middle of the flume to observe the scour, but after running simulation for a few minutes, my velocity vector is not moving down ward, it bends around the pierwall which should be but the downward velocity which causes horseshoe vortex is not showing, the vectors will not moving downward after interacting with the pile, what is the reason? Please help me understand

[@jokhioization]

can we use this in combustion ,for example we place biomass instead to sand and instead of water we put hot air , it should transfer heat or combust?

Hi, I am trying to simulate Scour around bridge piers in a 3d model. i have followed your tutorial, the only issue i am having is that as soon as the water begins, all the sand flushes away. can you advise me how to simulate water running over the sand, picking up particles and not flushing away the entire bed?

Hello sir, in my case. The water and slurry are entering the inlet at the same time. How do I go about the set up? Volume fraction and all

[@numericalsimulations]

Thank you for sharing. I wonder in the case of 2D simulation, what is the length in spanwise direction used for Sand Volume Fraction calculation?

[@TanmayAgrawal7]

In any 2D simulation, the span is considered infinite.

Great tutorial Tanmay...I am working on a project in pyrolysis. Can you post any video on that topic. It involves eulerian modelling and it is too tough for a beginner like me to understand.

[@TanmayAgrawal7]

Can you please tell me a bit more? I am not familiar with it either.

[@Sidhartha558]

@@TanmayAgrawal7 i am trying to simulate pyrolysis of coal (lignite). The pyrolysis process is the thermal decomposition of materials at elevated temperatures around 1500K in an inert atmosphere (absence of oxygen or air). The heat is provided via electrical heating. The coal on application of heat will break down into its basic constituents: CO, CO2, Hydrogen, methane. I want to visualize this process. Any guidance from you will be much appreciated.

[@nilotpalchakraborty3034]

Great tutorial Tanmay. Btw, what does the secondary phase diameter actually represent? I changed the diameter of the secondary phase to a value greater than the diameter of the tube, and surprisingly the secondary phase still flows inside the tube. Could you explain this as we wouldn't expect the s.phase to move in an actual scenario? Any inputs from your side would be very helpful.

[@tubaisaha3222]

The primary phase is the continuous phase and the secondary phase is the dispersed phase in my understanding.

[@sapyman216]

Hi Tanmay, Is it possible to simulate a mixture of microsized particle mixed with water when both enters the domain as a mixture through multiphase model?

[@TanmayAgrawal7]

I believe that is possible. Depending on volume fraction of particles, you have to choose the multi-phase model accordingly.

Thank you! Btw can you have a look at my simulations, i kept on getting reversed flow and i dont know why? I looked at ansyscommunity, people said that reversed flow just disappeared after more iterations, but mine doesnt seem to go away even after 400 iterations

Hi sir, I am trying to simulate artificial ripening of fruit, in which ethylene gas is given to fruit in the presence of air. At the time of selection of model in fluent what model I should select (Eulerian or mixture or volume of fluid)???

[@avgspacelover]

eulerian models each phase independently.VOF is for continuous-continuous models and mixture for discrete-continuous model

[@smitpatel2521]

Sir is it possible to get numerical data of volume fraction of sand at different time interval. I am trying to export data but it is only displaying results when time ends and not at different time.

[@TanmayAgrawal7]

You have to save data at every timesteps (or every few timesteps). This is done during the setup. In my last video where I simulated a lock exchange flow, I briefly mention it at 16:00. You can select what variables you want to save.

[@shivamsalokhe2954]

Hi Yurii, I am sorry but unfortunately I am very busy at this point of time. If it is turbulent flow, then you better stick to the appropriate model for turbulence modelling. I hope that helps. Tanmay
