The pettern formation in a rotating suspension of 160 settling balls in a horizontal cylinder: Angular speed is 8
A rotating suspension of 160 settling balls in a horizontal cylinder
filled fully with
an incompressible viscous Newtonian fluid for 65 < t < 75: Some clusters are forming.
- The whole cylinder is rotating with angular speed equal to 8.
- The length of the cylinder is 8 and its diameter is 1.
- The central axis of the cylinder is horizontal and its two ends are closed.
- The dimension of computational domain = (0,1+4h)x(0,8)x(0,1+4h).
- The initial position and the velocity field are from the results of angular speed equal to 4 at t=10.
- The diameter of balls = 0.15.
- The solid fraction is 2.53125%.
- The density of tha ball = 1.25
- The density of fluid = 1
- The viscosity = 0.15
- The mesh size for the velocity field = 1/64.
- The mesh size for the pressure = 1/32.
- The time step=0.001.
- The averaged ball speed for the last second = 2.4050 (the particle Re= 2.4050).
