description This study uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the motion behavior of coal-water slurry (CWS) particles under vibration conditions. Results show that without vibration, the coal particles settle to the bottom of the container due to gravity, forming distinct regions of low, transition, and high concentration. Under low vibration intensity, the slight energy activates particle motion and promotes settlement. Under high vibration intensity, violent reciprocating motion causes severe shaking and uncertainty, resulting in non-uniform particle distribution and back mixing. Particle velocity distribution is significantly influenced by vibration, with higher frequencies and amplitudes resulting in greater velocities. Additionally, particle pseudo-temperature is higher in the near-wall area due to collisions with particles and wall surfaces. Low frequency and amplitude promote particle settlement, increasing compactness in the bottom area and reducing concentration in the top area. The findings provide valuable insights into CWS behavior under vibration conditions, which can be used to optimize the design and operation of CWS handling and transportation systems.
