A quadrature-based moment method for gas-particle flows

Gas-particle flows are involved in various industrial applications in the energy, oil and gas fields, like coal gasification, production of light hydrocarbons by fluid catalytic cracking, catalytic combustion and different treatments aiming to reduce or eliminate pollutants. In addition, gas-particle flows take part to interesting natural phenomena, like volcanic eruptions, and their understand...

A quadrature-based moment method for dilute fluid-particle flows

Gas-particle and other dispersed-phase flows can be described by a kinetic equation containing terms for spatial transport, acceleration, and particle processes (such as evaporation or collisions). In principle, the kinetic description is valid from the dilute (non-collisional) to the dense limit. However, its numerical solution in multi-dimensional systems is intractable due to the large numbe...

A Vortex Particle Method for Compressible Flows

A vortex particle method for the simulation of twodimensional compressible flows is developed. The computational elements are Lagrangian particles that carry vorticity, dilatation, enthalpy, entropy and density. The velocity field is decomposed into irrotational and solenoidal parts, which allows its calculation in terms of the particles’ vorticity and dilatation. The particle coverage is trunc...

Lagrangian–Eulerian methods for multiphase flows

This review article aims to provide a comprehensive and understandable account of the theoretical foundation, modeling issues, and numerical implementation of the Lagrangian–Eulerian (LE) approach for multiphase flows. The LE approach is based on a statistical description of the dispersed phase in terms of a stochastic point process that is coupled with an Eulerian statistical representation of...
