Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students are able to model simple, granular systems and particle-laden flows and solve the resulting equations numerically.
Skills Knowledge
  • Selection of a suitable model (micro - meso - macro) for a given particulate system (K3,4)
  • Identification for relevant interactions (K3,4)
  • Recognizing limiting factors for numerical solutions (K4,5)
  • Steps for the improvement of existing algorithms (K4,5,6)
Physics modeling:

  • Newton‘s law of motion for macroscopic particles and their mutual interaction
  • Navier-Stokes equations for the continuous phase
  • Combined description of particle-fluid systems at various scales

Different models and algorithms:

  • Discrete element method (DEM), e.g. using the velocity-Verlet algorithm
  • Computational fluid dynamics coupled with discrete elements (CFD-DEM), e.g. using the PISO algorithm
  • Two-fluid model (TFM)
