Abstract

For multiphase flows with dense particulate distributions, the effect of momentum and energy back coupling with the underlying gas flow and inter-particle interaction is significant. In the present work, we present our preliminary work towards developing a two-way coupled solver on the original framework of the FLASH[1] code. Particle force models that are compatible with the underlying compressible gas flow are used in the solver. Inter-particle collisions are implemented using the empirical model by Harris et al. [2]. The developed code is used to study the canonical case of a planar shock interacting with a particle curtain. The temporal evolution of the considered force terms is discussed in detail. The evolution of gas/particle phase features is compared to the experimental results given in Ling et al.[3].
