Abstract:
The coarse particles with particle diameter in millimeter or even centimeter levels will inevitably be sucked into the pipe when the pipeline conveying technology is applied,which will increase the energy loss of pipe flow,decrease the efficiency of pipe transport. Then,the coarse particles tend to deposit in the pipe,which will threaten the safety of pipe transport. The study of the fluid and coarse particle hydraulic conveying in the pipe is very significant for the efficiency and safety improvement of pipe transport. Combined with the latest research trends at home and abroad,this paper reviews the basic theories of fluid and solid movements,physical experiments,the mutual feedback between fluid and solid,and numerical simulations. The characteristics of the sliding and sedimentation movements of coarse particles via physical experiments and the studies of numerical simulations based on the CFD-DEM coupling methods are deeply analyzed. Based on an overview of current research results,it is pointed out that the future studies should focus on the evolutionary law of key parameters of theoretical equations,the movement mechanisms of pebbles and high sediment concentration flow in the pipe,complex particle shape modeling,determination of numerical simulation parameters,the effect of flexible boundary condition of pipeline,the transport law of cohesive and crushable particles,the relationship between the energy evolutions of fluid and those of solid,the application of high precision turbulence model in numerical simulation.
