Abstract [en]

The gravity-driven motion of-rigid particles in a viscous fluid is relevant in many natural and industrial processes, yet this has mainly been investigated for spherical particles. We therefore consider the sedimentation of non-spherical (spheroidal) isolated and particle pairs in a viscous fluid via numerical simulations using the Immersed Boundary Method. The simulations performed here show that the critical Galileo number for the onset of secondary motions decreases as the spheroid aspect ratio departs from 1. Above this critical threshold, oblate particles perform a zigzagging motion whereas prolate particles rotate around, the vertical axis while having their broad side facing the falling direction. Instabilities of the vortices in the wake follow when farther increasing the Galileo number. We also study the drafting kissing-tumbling associated with the settling of particle pairs. We find that the interaction time increases significantly for non-spherical particles and, more interestingly, spheroidal particles are attracted from larger lateral displacements. This has important implications for the estimation of collision kernels and can result its increasing clustering in suspensions of sedimenting spheroids.

Abstract [en]

The presence of solid rigid particles alters the global transport and rheological properties of the mixture in complex (and often unpredictable) ways. In recent years a few studies have been devoted to investigating the behavior of dense suspensions in the turbulent/inertial regime with the majority of theses analyses limited to mono-disperse rigid neutrally-buoyant spheres. However, one interesting parameter that is rarely studied for particles with high inertia is the particle shape. Spheroidal particles introduce an anisotropy, e.g. a tendency to orient in a certain direction, which can affect the bulk behavior of a suspension in an unexpected ways. The main focus of this study is therefore to investigate the behavior of spheroidal particles and their effect on turbulent/inertial flows.

We perform fully resolved simulations of particulate flows with spherical/spheroidal particles, using an efficient/accurate numerical approach that enables us to simulate thousands of particles with high resolutions in order to capture all the fluid-solid interactions.

Several conclusions are drawn from this study that reveal the importance of particle's shape effect on the behaviour of a suspension e.g. spheroidal particles tend to cluster while sedimenting. This phenomenon is observed in this work for both particles with high inertia, sedimenting in a quiescent fluid and inertialess particles (point-like tracer prolates) settling in homogenous isotropic turbulence. The mechanisms for clustering is indeed different between these two situations, however, it is the shape of particles that governs these mechanisms, as clustering is not observed for spherical particles. Another striking finding of this work is drag reduction in particulate turbulent channel flow with rigid oblate particles. Again this drag reduction is absent for spherical particles, which instead increase the drag with respect to single-phase turbulence.

Abstract [en]

Suspensions of solid particles in a viscous liquid are of scientific and technological interest in a wide range of applications. Sediment transport in estuaries, blood flow in the human body, pyroclastic flows from volcanos and pulp fibers in papermaking are among the examples. Often, these particulate flows also include heat transfer among the two phases or the fluid might exhibit a viscoelastic behavior. Predicting these flows and the heat transfer within requires a vast knowledge of how particles are distributed across the domain, how particles affect the flow field and finally how they affect the global behavior of the suspension. The aim of this work is therefore to improve the physical understanding of these flows, including the effect of physical and mechanical properties of the particles and the domain that bounds them.To this purpose, particle-resolved direct numerical simulations (PR-DNS) of spherical/non-spherical particles in different flow regimes and geometries are performed, using an efficient/accurate numerical tool that is developed within this work. The code is based on the Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) for the fluid-solid interactions with lubrication, friction and collision models for the close range particle-particle (particle-wall) interactions, also able to resolve for heat transfer equation in both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.

Several conclusions are drawn from this study, revealing the importance of the particle's shape and inertia on the global behavior of a suspension, e.g. spheroidal particles tend to cluster while sedimenting. This phenomenon is observed here for both particles with high inertia, sedimenting in a quiescent fluid and inertialess particles (point-like tracer prolates) settling in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The mechanisms for clustering is indeed different between these two situations, however, it is the shape of the particles that governs these mechanisms, as clustering is not observed for spherical particles. Another striking finding of this work is drag reduction in particulate turbulent channel flow with disk-like spheroidal particles. Again this drag reduction is absent for spherical particles, which instead increase the drag with respect to single-phase turbulence. In particular, we show that inertia at the particle scale induces a non-linear increase of the heat transfer as a function of the volume fraction, unlike the case at vanishing inertia where heat transfer increases linearly within the suspension.
