Cold flow experiments in an entrained flow gasification reactor with a swirl-stabilized pulverized biofuel burner

Short particle residence time in entrained flow gasifiers demands the use of pulverized fuel particles to promote mass and heat transfer, resulting high fuel conversion rate. The pulverized biomass particles have a wide range of aspect ratios which can exhibit different dispersion behavior than that of spherical particles in hot product gas flows. This results in spatial and temporal variations in temperature distribution, the composition and the concentration of syngas and soot yield. One way to control the particle dispersion is to impart a swirling motion to the carrier gas phase. This paper investigates the dispersion behavior of biomass fuel particles in swirling flows. A two-phase particle image velocimetry technique was applied to simultaneously measure particle and gas phase velocities in turbulent isothermal flows. Post-processed PIV images showed that a poly-dispersed behavior of biomass particles with a range of particle size of 112–160 µm imposed a significant impact on the air flow pattern, causing air flow decelerated in a region of high particle concentration. Moreover, the velocity field, obtained from individually tracked biomass particles showed that the swirling motion of the carrier air flow gives arise a rapid spreading of the particles.     

Forces on a spherical particle in shear flow at intermediate Reynolds numbers

When particles are submerged in a shear flow, there are lateral (lift) forces on the particles, and these lateral forces affect the dispersion of the particles very much. Recent literature survey indicates that there are large discrepancies among the results from the previous numerical investigations on this subject. A small computational domain ranging between 20–30 sphere radii was used in all the previous numerical investigations. However, the result from the present study reveals that the value of lift coefficient strongly depends on the size of computational domain. To provide correct numerical data and physical interpretation for the forces on a spherical particle in linear shear flow, accurate numerical computations were performed for 5≤Re≤200 using a computational domain of 101 sphere radii.     

Numerical investigation of gas-particle flow in the primary air pipe of a low NOx swirl burner – The DEM-CFD method

The gas-particle flow in the primary air pipe (PAP) of a low NO_x swirl burner was investigated using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) coupled with the discrete element method (DEM). The mathematical models were validated using the measured values obtained at the outlet of the primary pipe through a phase Doppler anemometer (PDA) system. Particles of different Stokes numbers in the primary air pipe (PAP) were investigated, and the effects of the structure of the primary air pipe and the particle–particle interaction on particle dispersion were analyzed. The results indicate that particles under the combined effects of the Venturi pipe and the spindle body are concentrated into a narrow band area and that the PAP structure can more efficiently concentrate particles with large Stokes numbers. The formed fuel rich/lean jet persists for a long distance out of the burner, thereby favoring of air-staged combustion and NO_x reduction. The particle collision frequency and its fluctuation range increase as the particle Stokes number increases. The collisions among particles result in an increase of the spanwise dispersion of particles. Experimental results indicate that the models that take particle–particle collision into consideration are more able to predict particle concentration.     

Effect of laden solid particles on the turbulent flow structure of a round free jet

The effect of solid particles on the flow structure of a round air jet in a stagnant surrounding was investigated experimentally. Information on the averaged two-component velocities, the kinetic energies, and the u′ v′-properties were obtained for both phases by means of a monochromatic three beam laser Doppler anemometer. The particle number density was also measured by this system. Glass beads of 64 μm and 132 μm diameter were used for a constant mass loading ratio of 0.3 in a jet with a Reynolds number of 20 000. The lateral mean velocity and number density profiles were expressed by best fitting functions and several invariable coefficients were found. The standard drag force coefficient C _D for a single particle was applicable for a dilute particle cloud even in a non-uniform air velocity field.     

Transverse dispersion at high Peclet numbers in short porous media

Transverse dispersion is examined in short ceramic foams for a variety of pore sizes and flow rates. Experiments were performed with a localized smoke source as a tracer and a coflow of air. Digital images were taken of the resulting dispersion patterns, and an approximate transverse dispersion coefficient was determined. A precise dispersion coefficient cannot be defined at these high Peclet numbers (10⁶–10⁸) because the dispersion becomes non-Fickian. Nevertheless, the approximate coefficients are shown to be consistent with the values obtained by other researchers for lower Peclet numbers and longer porous media.     

Numerical simulation of flow over an airfoil in heavy rain via a two-way coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian approach

Airfoil performance degradation in heavy rain has attracted many aeronautical researchers’ eyes. In this work, a two-way momentum coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian approach is developed to study the aerodynamic performance of a NACA 0012 airfoil in heavy rain environment. Scaling laws are implemented for raindrop particles. A random walk dispersion approach is adopted to simulate raindrop dispersion due to turbulence in the airflow. Raindrop impacts, splashback and formed water film are modeled with the use of a thin liquid film model. The steady-state incompressible air flow field and the raindrop trajectory are calculated alternately through a curvilinear body-fitted grid surrounding the airfoil by incorporating an interphase momentum coupling term. Our simulation results of aerodynamic force coefficients agree well with the experimental results and show significant aerodynamic penalties at low angles of attack for the airfoil in heavy rain. An about 3° rain-induced increase in stall angle of attack is predicted. The loss of boundary momentum by raindrop splashback and the effective roughening of the airfoil surface due to an uneven water film are testified to account for the degradation of airfoil aerodynamic efficiency in heavy rain environment.     

Turbulent transport of particles in a straight square duct

Turbulent flow through a duct of square cross-section gives rise to off-axis secondary flows, which are known to transfer momentum between fluid layers thereby flattening the velocity profile. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of the secondary flows in the transport and dispersion of particles suspended in a turbulent square duct flow. We have numerically simulated a flow through a square duct having a Reynolds number of Re_τ = 300 through discretization of the Navier–Stokes equations, and followed the trajectories of a large number of passive tracers and finite-inertia particles under a one-way coupling assumption. Snapshots of particle locations and statistics of single-particle and particle pair dispersion were analyzed. It was found that lateral mixing is enhanced for passive tracers and low-inertia particles due to the lateral advective transport that is absent in straight pipe and channels flows. Higher inertia particles accumulate close to the wall, and thus tend to mix more efficiently in the streamwise direction since a large number of the particles spend more time in a region where the mean fluid velocity is small compared to the bulk. Passive tracers tend to remain within the secondary swirling flows, circulating between the core and boundary of the duct.     

Effects of vortex pairing on particle dispersion in turbulent shear flows

Particle dispersion in large-scale dominated turbulent shear flow is investigated numerically with special emphasis on the effects of the vortex-pairing phenomenon. The particle dispersion is visualized numerically by following the particle trajectories in a flow consisting of large vortices which are undergoing pairing interaction. The flow field is generated by a discrete vortex method. Important global and local fiow quantities from the numerical simulation compare reasonably well with experimental measurements.

For both cases of point sources with continuous particle release and an initially distributed line source, the particle dispersion results demonstrate that the extent of particle dispersion depends strongly on the Stokes number, the ratio of the particle aerodynamic response time to the characteristic time of the vortex-pairing flow field. Particles with relatively small Stokes numbers disperse laterally at approximately the saine rate as that of the fluid particles and particles with large Stokes numbers disperse much less than the fluid particles. Particles with intermediate Stokes numbers (0.5-5) may be dispersed laterally farther than the fiuid particles and may actually be flung out of the vortex structures. Due to the strong particie entrainment power, the flow during the vortex-pairing process seems to produce higher particle lateral dispersion than the pre-pairing and post-pairing flows.
