Numerical Characterization of the Solid Particle Accumulation in a Turbulent Flow through Curved Pipes by Means of Stokes Numbers

Numerical Characterization of the Solid Particle Accumulation in a Turbulent Flow through Curved Pipes by Means of Stokes Numbers

The accumulation of particles in a turbulent flow of incompressible air with mono-dispersed solid particles inside a 90° pipe bend was simulated using ANSYS<sup>®</sup> Fluent (CFD), taking into account the effect of gravity, drag force and a bidirectional fluid-particle coupling. An ana...
