Saffman Force

Magnus Force

Velocity gradient around a particle develops a pressure gradient on a particle

The rotation of particle (interaction with particles or walls) causes a velocity differential between both sides of the

particle. This velocity differential develops a pressure gradient on top and bottom of the particle

26

Basset history force

The virtual mass effect is happened when a particle is accelerated through a fluid, so there is a corresponding acceleration of the fluid that is related to the virtual

mass effect.

33

Turbulent dispersion of particles

Turbulent dispersion is important because:

o Physically more realistic

o Enhances stability by smoothing souce terms and eliminating local spikes in coupling to the continuous liquid phase

Using Stochastic tracking (discrete random walk) scheme.

34

Turbulent fluctuations in the flow

𝑀𝑀𝑖𝑖 = �𝑀𝑀𝑖𝑖 + �́�𝑀𝑖𝑖

�́�𝑀𝑖𝑖 = 𝜁𝜁2𝑘𝑘3

−1 < 𝜁𝜁 < 1

�́�𝑀𝑖𝑖 is derived from local turbulence parameters

𝑘𝑘 is the turbulent kinetic energy and 𝜁𝜁 is normally distributed random number

By computing the trajectory in this manner for a sufficient number of representative particles (termed as “number of tries”), the random effects of turbulence on the

particle dispersion can be included35
