Three-dimensional simulation of a three-phase draft-tube bubble column

TL;DR: In this article, three-dimensional simulations of a three-phase flow in conical-bottom draft-tube bubble columns were performed using a finite-volume flow simulation technique using an unstructured grid method along with a multifield description of multiphase flow dynamics.

A cell-centered ICE method for multiphase flow simulations

TL;DR: The Implicit Continuous-fluid Eulerian (ICE) method is a finite-volume scheme that is stable for any value of the Courant number based on the sound speed.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-resolution three-dimensional numerical simulation of a circulating fluidized bed

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple averaged equation model for two-phase flows is used to perform high-resolution 3D numerical simulations of gas-solid flow in a fluidized bed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compatible Fluxes for van Leer Advection

TL;DR: In this paper, a new flux formulation and gradient limiting procedure is presented which eliminates these artificial extrema, preserves the second-order accuracy, and preserves the monotone character of the van Leer method, even in the limit of vanishing mass density.
Journal ArticleDOI

A general-purpose finite-volume advection scheme for continuous and discontinuous fields on unstructured grids

TL;DR: A new general-purpose advection scheme for unstructured meshes based on the use of a variation of the interface-tracking flux formulation recently put forward, which is applicable to control-volume finite-element and edge-based node-centered computations.
