  • Algebraic-Closure-Based Moment Method for Unsteady Eulerian Simulations of Non-Isothermal Particle-Laden Turbulent Flows at Moderate Stokes Numbers in Dilute Regime
    Flow Turbulence and Combustion, 2014
    Co-Authors: Enrica Masi, Olivier Simonin
    Abstract:

    To model unsteady non-isothermal dilute particle-laden turbulent flows, an Algebraic-Closure-based moment method (ACBMM) is developed. ACBMM is a Eulerian approach for the dispersed phase conceived to be coupled with direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of the turbulence when an accurate local description of the turbulent mixture is required. It is based on the combination of a conditional probability density function (PDF) approach, which provides local instantaneous Eulerian equations for the low-order moments of the PDF, and appropriate constitutive relations, as Algebraic Closures, which are necessary to close the set of conservation equations. The computed low-order moments are the mesoscopic particle number density, particle velocity and particle temperature and the unclosed higher-order moments are the particle random uncorrelated motion (RUM) stress tensor and the RUM heat flux (RUM-HF) which appear in the particle momentum and enthalpy equations, respectively. The RUM stress tensor is closed by an additional transport equation for the trace of the tensor and a polynomial representation for tensor functions modeling its deviatoric part. The polynomial representation is used in the framework of an assumption of equilibrium of the RUM anisotropy and leads to an explicit Algebraic stress model (2ΦEASM). Similarly, the RUM-HF is modeled assuming equilibrium of the scaled heat flux and explicit self-consistent solutions (2ΦEAHFM) are found by analogy with turbulent heat flux models. As 2ΦEAHFM entails the computation of the RUM temperature variance, an additional transport equation is developed for it. By means of an a priori analysis, the Algebraic Closures developed by the present study are assessed against actual particle Eulerian fields which are extracted from particle Lagrangian simulations coupled with DNS of a temporal non-isothermal particle-laden turbulent planar jet, for various Stokes numbers. Results show that both 2ΦEASM and 2ΦEAHFM are successful in reproducing the unclosed moments up to moderate turbulent-macroscale Stokes numbers allowing the ACBMM to accurately predict the unsteady non-isothermal dispersed phase.

  • Development of an Algebraic-Closure-based moment method for unsteady Eulerian simulations of particle-laden turbulent flows in very dilute regime
    International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 2014
    Co-Authors: Enrica Masi, Olivier Simonin, E. Riber, P. Sierra, L.y.m. Gicquel
    Abstract:

    International audienceAn Algebraic-Closure-based moment method (ACBMM) is developed for unsteady Eulerian particle simulations, coupled with direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of fluid turbulent flows, in very dilute regime and up to large Stokes numbers StK (based on the Kolmogorov timescale) or moderate Stokes numbers St (based on the turbulent macroscale seen by the particles). The proposed method is developed in the frame of a conditional statistical approach which provides a local and instantaneous characterization of the dispersed-phase dynamic accounting for the effect of crossing between particle trajectories which becomes substantial for StK > 1. The computed Eulerian quantities are low-order moments of the conditional probability density function (PDF) and the corresponding governing equations are derived from the PDF kinetic equation in the general frame of the kinetic theory of gases. At the first order, the computation of the mesoscopic particle number density and velocity requires the modeling of the second-order moment tensor appearing in the particle momentum equation and referred to as random uncorrelated motion (RUM) particle kinetic stress tensor. The current work proposes a variety of different Algebraic Closures for the deviatoric part of the tensor. An evaluation of some effective propositions is given by performing an a priori analysis using particle Eulerian fields which are extracted from particle Lagrangian simulations coupled with DNS of a temporal particle-laden turbulent planar jet. Several million-particle simulations are analyzed in order to assess the models for various Stokes numbers. It is apparent that the most fruitful are explicit Algebraic stress models (2UEASM) which are based on an equilibrium assumption of RUM anisotropy for which explicit solutions are provided by means of a polynomial representation for tensor functions. These models compare very well with Eulerian-Lagrangian DNSs and properly represent all crucial trends extracted from such simulations

  • On the Direct Numerical Simulation of moderate-Stokes-number turbulent particulate flows using Algebraic-Closure-Based and Kinetic-Based Moment Methods
    2012
    Co-Authors: Aymeric Vié, Enrica Masi, Olivier Simonin, Marc Massot
    Abstract:

    In turbulent particulate flows, the occurrence of particle trajectory crossings (PTC) is the main constraint on classical monokinetic Eulerian methods. To handle such PTC, accounting for high-order moments of the particle velocity distribution is mandatory. In the simplest case, second-order moments are needed. To retrieve these moments, two solutions are proposed in the literature: the Algebraic-Closure-Based Moment Method (ACBMM) and the Kinetic-Based Moment Method (KBMM). The ACBMM provides constitutive relations for the random-uncorrelated-motion (RUM) particle kinetic stress tensor as Algebraic Closures based on physical arguments (Simonin et al. 2002; Kaufmann et al. 2008; Masi 2010; Masi & Simonin 2012). These Closures rely on the internal energy, namely the RUM particle kinetic energy, which is obtained using an additional trans- port equation. Alternatively, it is possible to directly solve for the second-order moment by providing a Closure for the third-order correlation. The KBMM proposes a kinetic description, that is, the number density function (NDF) is reconstructed based on the resolved moments and on a presumed shape. In the present work, an isotropic Gaussian and the anisotropic Gaussian Closure of Vi ́e et al. (2012) are used. The goal of the present study is to provide a first comparison between ACBMM and KBMM, using the same ro- bust numerical methods, in order to highlight differences and common points. The test case is a 2D turbulent flow with a mean shear, which is designed in order to mimic the injection of particles into a turbulent gas field.
