Abstract

Discrete element model is used to simulate the flow of liquid-granule mixtures in an inclined channel containing a linear contraction. All the relevant particle/particle and particle/fluid interactions are included in the numerical model. The presence of the contraction induces different steady morphologies of the solid phase or the mixture depending on whether closed or open channels are used. These flows behave quite differently depending on the upstream Froude number and the contraction size ratio. The model is first validated by comparing with the existing results for dry granular (glass particles) chute flows (Vreman et al., 2007). Then simulations of a chute of glass particles in water flowing in a closed channel are compared to the dry granular case. With the same solid flux at the inlet, the hydrodynamic forces in the liquid-solid mixture induce higher particle solid volume fractions in the part of the flow containing the solid phase. The streamwise particle velocity (resp. depth of the solid phase) has the same evolution along the channel with smaller (larger) values than in the dry granular flow case.
