Numerical Study on Flow Dynamics of Gas-Liquid-Solid Three Phase Flow through a Channel

An Euler-Euler gas-liquid-solid three phase flow model is developed to study the flow dynamics through a channel. Granular kinetic theory is applied in the work to deal with the particle phase. Effects of different inlet velocities and inclined angles of the channel are investigated. Distributions of solid volume fractions and velocities are gotten in this work. Numerical results are compared with limited experimental results and a same tendency is obtained.
