Abstract
In the present work, the two-dimensional turbulent liquid-particle flow around a blade-to blade surface of a centrifugal impeller has been simulated by using a two-phase turbulence model, that is, the k-ε liquid turbulence model and the algebraic particulate phase flow turbulence model. The interaction between the liquid phase and the solid phase has been considered in the conservative momentum equations of the two-phase flow. Calculated results show that the turbulence model can predict essential features of the complex liquid-particle flow through the impeller.
