摘要: 细长颗粒气–固两相流中湍流流变特性研究是细长颗粒气固两相流研究的重要内容之一。基于离散单元法、刚体动力学,并引入拉格朗日时间尺度与?-ε模型的耦合关联式,构建起细长颗粒?湍流场气–固双向耦合模型,并采用此模型对某一实际流化床内的细长颗粒气-固两相流场进行了数值研究。研究发现,多数细长颗粒以其轴与流场主流速度方向近于平行的姿态在流场中向上运动;在高度上,一方面细长颗粒在此存在会导致此高度上湍流速度梯度的增加从而导致整个高度上湍动能值的增加,另一方面细长颗粒的存在又会消耗一部分当地湍流场的湍动能;水平方向上有细长颗粒存在的区域,当地湍动能值会有明显的下降;细长颗粒的存在会导致整个湍流场的压强梯度增加。Abstract: The study of rheological properties of two-phase flow, especially of turbulent flow, is one of the key issues of gas-solid two-phase flow of slender particles. The study of rheological properties is more difficult due to lack of efficient coupling relation between slender particles and turbulent flow. On the basis of the three-dimensional force and motion model of slender particles in the light of Discrete Element Method(DEM) and rigid dynamics respectively, a three-dimensional two-way coupling model between slender particles and turbulent flow was founded based on the coupling correlation between Lagrangian time scales and ?-ε model, and numerical analysis on a cold-state two-phase flow of slender particles was implemented using the model. It is found that the axes of most slender particle are nearly parallel to the direction of main stream of flow during the fluidization; the volume fraction distribution of flow field is every uneven due to interaction between slender particles; at height direction, on the one hand the residence of slender particles results in reduction of section surface of turbulent flow thereby results in rising of turbulent kinetic energy, and on the other hand slender particles residing in local turbulent flow will consume some turbulent kinetic energy thus lead to decline of local turbulent kinetic energy; at horizontal direction local turbulent kinetic energy will decline where some slender particles reside; the residence of slender particles result in the increment of pressure gradient of the turbulent flow field.
