摘要: 本文利用数值模拟方法研究湍流情况下气溶胶微小通道内的沉积规律。通过对Muyshondt实验的模拟并与实验数据对比验证了雷诺应力模型(RSM)和离散相模型(DPM)的适用性。分析了颗粒粒径、气体流量对气溶胶沉积的影响,并利用修正后的DPM模型研究了通道弯曲度对气溶胶沉积的影响。结果表明在湍流情况下,气溶胶在微通道内沉积占优机制为湍流扩散,主要影响粒径较小的气溶胶颗粒,随着雷诺数增大,湍流扩散增强,颗粒总沉积率增大;在弯曲通道内,气溶胶颗粒沉积率随粒径变化呈现先增大后减小的趋势,由于惯性碰撞作用增强,颗粒总沉积率相比水平通道显著增大,但进一步增大通道弯曲度对颗粒总体沉积率的影响不显著。Abstract: In this paper, the numerical simulation method is used to study the deposition law in the aerosol micro-channel under turbulent flow. The applicability of the Reynolds Stress Model(RSM) and the Discrete Phase Model(DPM) is verified by the experimental results of the Muyshondt experiment. The influence of the particle size and the gas flow rate on aerosol deposition is analyzed using the original DPM model, while the influence of the channel curvature on the aerosol deposition is studied using the modified DPM model with UDF considering the collision. The results show that in the case of turbulent flow, the dominant mechanism of the aerosol deposition in the microchannel is turbulent diffusion. Turbulent diffusion mainly affects aerosol particles with smaller diameters. As the Reynolds number increases, turbulent diffusion increases, the overall particle deposition rate increases. In the curved channel, the deposition rate of aerosol particles first increases and then decreases with the change of the particle size. Due to the enhanced inertial collision effect, the overall particle deposition rate increases significantly compared with the horizontal channel. But further increasing the channel curvature has no significant effect on the overall particle deposition rate.
