Study of aerosol deposition in 90° bend turbulent flow using Lagrangian RANS approach

Journal Title: Recueil de mécanique - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

This work presents a numerical study of turbulent flow of a gas loaded with particles with various diameters in a 90° bend. This study can be an effective way to predict the dispersion and deposition of aerosol in transportation and distribution gaz networks. The dynamics of flow is calculated using a statistical technique of Reynolds averaged Navier-Stocks equations (RANS). For the computation an open-source code namely Code_Saturne (Archambeau et al. [1]) is used and the Reynolds number Re = 10.000. The results of this study using the stochastic model, classifies particles into three categories (small, intermediate and large), and also show a good agreement with experimental values obtained by Pui et al. [2] and with the numerical data of Breuer et al. [3], except for the small Stokes numbers.
