Simplified two-fluid model coupled with EMMS drag for simulating gas-solid flow
A simplified two-fluid model (STFM) combined with energy-minimization multi-scale (EMMS) drag was proposed for accurate and fast simulation of gas-solid flows. In this new approach
solid phase pressure was calculated by an empirical correlation without considering solid phase viscosity and interphase momentum transfer was calculated from EMMS drag model by taking into account of coupled effects of meso-scale structures. A lab-scale bubbling fluidized bed was successfully simulated in 3D by this approach. STFM coupled with EMMS drag had comparable simulation results to FTFM coupled with EMMS drag
and both agreed well with experimental data. Compared to FTFM
STFM doubled simulation speed and thus significantly reduced computational cost. The gas-solid simulation suggests that drag model has a primarily dominant effect
followed by solid phase stress. The model of STFM combined with EMMS drag has large potentials in rapid simulation of commercial gas-solid reactors.
