Description of the detailed research directions in the area of fundamentals of gas-solids flows:
Gas-solid flows have been attracting more and more attention due to their widespread use and popularity in various industrial processes, such as coal gasification, food production, pharmaceutical processing, environmental and energy industries, and so on. For accurate simulations of gas-solids flows in real-world reactors, the interaction between the gas phase and the solid phases needs to be formulated and installed as an external model in numerical methods that is capable of handling large-scale flows. Our group focuses on exploring the effects of the factors that could influence the interphase interaction, with drag as the primary forces between the two phases. The factors have been considered are particle rotation, particle fluctuation inhomogeneous structures and the geometries of particles. Out of these factors, it is found that inhomogeneous structures give the most significant changes of the drag force. In most occasions, it produces profound drag reduction compared to the drag forced obtained in homogenous flows. Inhomogeneous structures are composed of clusters of particles and dilute regions. It forms at the meso-scale of flows, a scale larger than the smallest scale of the flow, the particle scale and smaller than the largest scale of the flow, the reactor scale. The inherent cause of the Inhomogeneous structures is mainly related to inelastic collision between particles and the nonlinear drag between the two phases. The meso-scale inhomogeneity of the gas-solid flows, though is a widespread phenomenon in industrial processes and nature, is still poorly understood. Continunous numerical and experimental efforts are required in this area. Our group plans to use theoretical, numerical as well as experimental methods to perform careful analysis on the drag reduction mechanism due to structures in designed flows. The ultimate goal is to develop a structure-based drag model that can give accurate prediction on interaction between the two phases on various meso-scales.
