| contents | Euler-Lagrange (EL) point-particle simulations rely on hydrodynamic force closure models to accurately predict particle dynamics in flows. The closure models currently employed for dilute particle-laden flows require the undisturbed fluid velocity estimated at the particle center. Recovering this undisturbed velocity necessitates modeling the particle-induced disturbance on the flow. In this work, we present a new framework for velocity disturbance modeling near no-slip walls, suited for dilute gas-solid flows characterized by large Stokes numbers. For small disturbance Reynolds numbers, the velocity disturbance governing equations reduce to the steady Stokes equations. To exactly satisfy the no-slip and no-penetration boundary conditions for the velocity disturbance at the location of the planar wall, we employ the method of images to derive the Green's functions of the Stokes equations for Wendland and Gaussian force regularization kernels. An additional convolution product with a mesh-spacing dependent Gaussian kernel is performed to match the solution produced by a discrete flow solver. We verify the proposed analytical model by comparing the velocity disturbance generated on a computational mesh with the model predictions. An extension of the model for finite particle Reynolds numbers is proposed by multiplying an Oseen correction factor in an unbounded domain. The correction scheme is validated using canonical test cases involving the motion of a single particle parallel and perpendicular to a wall at various Stokes numbers, particle Reynolds numbers, and particle diameter to mesh-spacing ratios. Owing to the polynomial representation of the velocity disturbance for a Wendland force regularization, the current model is computationally efficient and well-suited for large-scale, two-way coupled EL simulations. |
