THREE-DIMENSIONAL NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF SUSPENSION THERMAL ON HORIZONTAL BED

Abstract

Numerical simulations of 2D suspension thermal as well as axisymmetric suspension thermal on horizontal bed are performed using 3D numerical model. The thermal consists of mixture of nearly uniform sized particles water. The numerical model consists Simplified Marker and Cell (SMAC) method, Monotone Upstream-centered Schemes for Conservation Laws (MUSCL) technique and the treatment of the partilce deposition. The simulated resutls are compared with experimental data of maximum height, propagation speed, buoyancy of the particle thermal as well as deposit profile of the particles. The numerical model shows promissing resutls for simulation of particle thermal on horizontal bed and deposit profile.
