Effect of the solid particle size in two phase flow around a plane cylinder
Abstract
Numerical solutions are obtained for two-dimensional incompressible viscous particulate flow over a cylinder, with allowance made for the rebound of the solid particles off the cylinder surface. Comparisons are made between solid particle trajectories over a two-dimensional cylinder in viscous and inviscid fluids; the particle trajectories are shown to be different for different particle sizes. The strike and collection efficiency is found to be different for viscous and inviscid solutions. It is shown that the presence of particles has a substantial effect on fluid flow properties, such as the coefficient of drag, the separation zone, and the recirculation pattern.
