Discrete particle modelling of buoyant convective particle-laden air flow in solar cavity free-falling particle receivers

A coupled computational fluid dynamics and discrete particle method numerical model is developed to provide a systematic analysis of buoyant convective particle-laden air flow and heat losses from a solar cavity receiver with free-falling particles. The fundamental mechanisms of heat loss from a sol...
