How to simulate hot flue with fine dust flows with subsequent quenching?
 

There is an engineering problem which need CFD to analyse.
The hot flue with fine dust flows into a mix chamber and is quenched by the fresh air blowered into the chamber. The mix effect,( the uniformity of temperature at chamber outlet) is critical.
Now I want to analyse it with OF, but I can not find a proper standard solver for it.
Who can give me some hints for it, which standard solver may be modified to meet my case.
I think these models are need:
turbulence model, heat transfer of gas and particle (maybe dig it out form spray model?).

Thanks a lots in advance!

The only thing you might need to do is to implement
the properties of your particles.

Thanks!
When I complete it, the result picture will be posted here. It will be my first industry application of OpenFOAM.

Hi Niklas,
I fight with dieselFoam whole day, but I have no idea for it.
My case(one industry equipment, so big; it has been done with commercial CFD software.) is that there are two inlets, one for fresh air, another one for hot flue carried dust, no reaction, is steady flow.
I don't know where to change for particle with diameter, density, specific heat as you pointed out.
Would you (or some experienced people) give me more detailed?

Hi FOAMers,
Would someone provide one basic lagrange model application solver?
In Hrv's MFIX training material(in their wiki) there is a tutorial, but I cannot find it in openfoam release.

thanks a lots.

That would be because it has n
 

That would be because it has not been released - it's basically a simple solver for massless particles carried by the incompressible transient flow solution (built into icoFoam). I am a bit anxious of just passing it over because I haev done a number of lagrangian-related bug fixes and until that makes it into the release I cannot guarantee that the thing will work "out-of-box".

However, if you feel adventureous and don't mind getting your hands dirty, I have no objections in passing it over in the current state.

Thanks for your kindness.
I wanna fight with it based on your current works for lagrangian solver if you could post it here.

for starters, get the case ru
 

for starters,
get the case running without particles.
THEN try to use a standard liquid to get the case properly set up, for instance water.
Turn off evaporation (in sprayProperties).
That way you will only have energy exchange between particles and gas and no mass transfer.

and you specify initial droplet/particle condition in injectorProperties and sprayProperties (atomizationModel)

You obviously also need to turn off the breakupModel.

Once that is workin you can start modifying the liquid (solid) properties by adding a new liquid
(src/thermophysicalModels/liquids)

Hi FOAMers, Sorry for digg
 

Hi FOAMers,

Sorry for digging out this old thread, but it's a 100% relating to what I'm trying to achieve.

My goal is to add some new liquids, but when I look up the .H files of the different already implemented models, I'm confused about the different numbers stated in brackets e.g.

liquid(18.015, 647.13, 2.2055e+7, 0.05595, 0.229, 273.16, 6.113e+2, 373.15, 6.1709e-30, 0.3449, 4.7813e+4).

What do the numbers stand for?

Thanks for any help,
Andreas

There are member functions corresponding to each of the constructor parameters too.

Thank you!

Now it's clear what the numbers in the liquid line mean.

It is also clear that rho_, pv_, etc. refer to the NSRDS functions.
And now it is getting unclear again. What do the scalars in the different NSRDS functions stand for?

OK, OK, obviously these are
 

OK, OK,

obviously these are coefficients for some interpolation functions, aren't they?

Can you please give me a reference, where I can look them up?

Thanks in advance,

Yeah, but which values do I set for a, b, c, ...?

lets look at C7H16.H

vapor pressure is declared as
NSRDSfunc1 pv_;

and in the constructor we have

pv_(87.829, -6996.4, -9.8802, 7.2099e-06, 2),

and the constructor for NSRDSfunc1 is
NSRDSfunc1(scalar a, scalar b, scalar c, scalar d, scalar e)

i.e. a=87.829, b=-6996.4, etc...
