TLDR
In this paper, the accuracy of the correlation between a sphere in compressible multiphase simulations and a shock-tube was evaluated using the recent shock tube experiments of Jourdan et al.
Abstract
MPIRICALcorrelationsforthequasi-steadydragcoef!cientofa sphere in compressible "ow have been presented by severalauthors (e.g., Henderson [1] and Loth [2]). Such correlations areneeded in numerical simulations of compressible multiphase "owsinvolving spherical particles. In this Note, the accuracy of thecorrelationsofHenderson[1]andLoth[2]areassessedusingthedatacollectedbyBaileyandStarr[3],andanimprovedcorrelationforthedrag coef!cient of a sphere in compressible "ow is developed. Theimproved correlation is validated for shock-particle interaction,using the recent shock-tube experiments of Jourdan et al. [4].

A multiphase model for compressible granular–gaseous flows: formulation and initial tests

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for predicting the behavior of a compressible flow laden with shocks interacting with granular material has been developed and tested, consisting of two sets of coupled Euler equations, one for the gas phase and the other for the granular phase.

Importance of unsteady contributions to force and heating for particles in compressible flows: Part 1: Modeling and analysis for shock–particle interaction

TL;DR: In this paper, a model that includes unsteady contributions to force and heating is proposed to investigate particle interactions with a planar shock wave and a spherical shock wave, and the peak values and the net effects of unsteedy contributions are used to measure their importance.

Equation of motion for a sphere in non-uniform compressible flows

TL;DR: In this article, a particle equation of motion can be considered as the compressible extension of the Maxey-Riley-Gatignol equation of Motion and it incorporates interesting physics that arises from the combined effects of inhomogeneity and compressibility.

Drag Coefficients of Spheres in Continuum and Rarefied Flows

Charles B. Henderson
- 01 Jun 1976 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the effect on drag of a temperature difference between the sphere and the gas is incorporated, which simplifies in the limit to certain equations derived from theory, and which offers significantly improved agreement with the experimental data.

Modeling of the unsteady force for shock-particle interaction

TL;DR: In this article, a simple model based on the work of Parmar et al. is proposed for the unsteady force in the flow field behind the shock wave. But the model is not suitable for the dynamics of the interaction between a particle and a wave.
