| contents | A high-resolution Eulerian method for simulating high-speed polydisperse granular multiphase flows has been developed. The governing equations include a compressible gas that is coupled to mass-based moment equations for a polydisperse granular flow derived from the generalized population balance equation. The model includes effects from particle collisions, drag, convective heat transfer, particle-fluid-particle pressure, and finite-size particle force terms. The mass moment integrals are closed using the generalized quadrature method of moments to allow for continuous size distributions. The governing equations are solved by using high-resolution reconstruction schemes and results from decoupled Riemann problems for the gas and particles as each quadrature node. Success of the technique is demonstrated through a variety of numerical experiments including polydisperse multiphase Riemann shock-tube problems, shock--particle-curtain interactions, dust layer dispersal, dust layer dispersal by shock waves, and dispersal of spherical particle shells by high-pressure gas. |
