Numerical simulation of gluey particles

Numerical Simulation of Gluey Particles

We propose here a model and a numerical scheme to compute the motion of rigid particles interacting through the lubrication force. In the case of a particle approaching a plane, we propose an algorithm and prove its convergence towards the solutions to the gluey particle model described in [19]. We propose a multi-particle version of this gluey model which is based on the projection of the velo...

Numerical Simulation of Abrasion of Particles

Direct numerical simulation of dispersed particles in a compressible fluid.

We present a direct numerical simulation method for investigating the dynamics of dispersed particles in a compressible solvent fluid. The validity of the simulation is examined by calculating the velocity relaxation of an impulsively forced spherical particle with a known analytical solution. The simulation also gives information about the fluid motion, which provides some insight into the par...

Quasi-Static Numerical Simulation of Missile Staging

In this study, the missile staging process by implementing a side-injected jet is simulated numerically. The problem is considered to be axisymmetric and the thin shear layer approximation of Navier-Stokes equations along with an algebraic turbulence model is used in a quasi-static form for the calculations. The free stream corresponds to a very high altitude flight condition with a Mach number...
