A Step Forward in the Use of Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation as a Tool for the Engineering Handling of Slurry Pipeline Systems

EasyChair Preprint no. 9738

Abstract

• A two-fluid model is developed in Ansys Fluent™ for simulating slurry flows in pipelines
• The applicability conditions are clearly defined and can be verified a priori
• The model requires calibration of a single empirical coefficient
• The level of accuracy is satisfactory for slurry flows in horizontal pipes at the laboratory scale
• Long-term goal is to use the model for simulating complex pipeline components such as slurry pumps

Keyphrases: Computational Fluid Dynamics, Particle-laden flows, Slurry Pipelines, two-phase flows
