Fully-Resolved Modelling of Suspension Flows

thesis
posted on 2024-02-08, 05:47 authored by MOHAMMAD FAZLI
Suspensions are widely encountered in engineering applications, including mining, food processing, and the oil and gas industries. The behaviour of suspension flows in industrial processes, such as transportation and sedimentation, is highly dependent on the interaction between liquid and particles. As an example, in mineral tailings processing, concentrated slurries often exhibit non-Newtonian yield-pseudoplastic rheology, which influences the liquid-particle interaction and then affects the energy requirements for transporting them via pipelines to storage sites. This project aims to provide a broad understanding of fluid-particle interaction in Newtonian and non-Newtonian yield-pseudoplastic particle flows.
