Hi everybody,
As a part of my MSc. thesis I am trying to model a slurry flow (sand/water) in OpenFOAM (for different geometries). I heard that i could best use the twoPhaseEulerFlow solver for this problem, however I have found only examples regarded pneumatic conveying in combination for this solver. Can this solver also be used for a liquid/solid interface. Some specifics of my research are: Turbulent flow (Re>>2300) Pipe flow Sand (2600kg/m^3), water mixture Concentrations ranging from 10 to 40% Medium fine sand, d50 approximately 300-600 micrometer I am particularly interested in the pressure drop allong the length of the pipe. Is the twoPhaseEulerFlow the right solver to use and do you think I would have to adjust this solver. If it is not the one to use, which one should I use. Thanks so much in advance!!! Best regards! |
