Description

Construction of slender flexible filamentous particle model and numerical simulation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of computer numerical simulation, and particularly relates to construction of an elongated flexible filamentous particle model and a numerical simulation method thereof.
Background
Elongate, flexible, threadlike particles are widely available in the fields of tobacco, food processing, agriculture, biomass combustion, medicine, environmental protection, etc., where fluidization technology-based machinery is widely involved in the flow of particles in two-phase or multiphase flow during processing of elongate, flexible, threadlike particles. In particular, in the tobacco industry, fluidization processing of cut tobacco is widely performed in operation units such as threshing and redrying, air drying, stem and shred separation, loose cooling, impurity removal and dust removal, material conveying and the like, while the cut tobacco is used as a representative of slender filamentous particles, the motion characteristics of the cut tobacco are more complex than those of spherical particles, and the conditions of the cut tobacco are more complex in two-phase or multiphase flow, and the method relates to multiple aspects such as material mechanics, hydrodynamics, rheology, multi-rigid system, turbulence theory and the like. At present, in tobacco fluidization processing, the overall research on the motion characteristics in the tobacco fluidization processing process is imperfect, and a plurality of fluidization problems are needed to be solved in continuous exploration. For example: the cut tobacco in the air flow drying process is agglomerated, and the cut tobacco in the pneumatic conveying process is crushed. Therefore, the research on the flow characteristics of the tobacco shreds in the fluidization processing process is significant in optimizing the process parameters, reducing the agglomeration, breakage and uneven moisture of the tobacco shreds in the fluidization processing, optimizing the fluidization equipment, further improving the quality of the tobacco shreds and improving the quality stability of cigarettes.
However, the tobacco shreds are soft, easy to deform and complex and changeable in movement, and if the movement characteristics of the tobacco shreds in the fluidization process are explored by a traditional experimental means, the experimental period is long, the acquired data are limited, and the cost is high. In recent years, gas-solid two-phase flow simulation based on computational fluid dynamics has been greatly improved, but for the assumption that the simulation of the slender flexible filament particles represented by cut tobacco is based on spherical particles, the change of geometric structural characteristics on the particle scale is ignored, the fluidization motion state and mutual influence factors of the slender flexible filament particles are greatly simplified, the space motion characteristics of the slender flexible filament particles are also lost in the simulation process, the simulation result cannot well represent the complex motion characteristics of the slender flexible filament particles and the defects of the mass and heat transfer process, the simulation result is far different from the true form of the cut tobacco, and the motion characteristics of the cut tobacco are difficult to be truly displayed. Thereby greatly reducing the simulation accuracy in the numerical simulation process. Therefore, it is necessary to construct an elongated flexible filament model and a numerical simulation method thereof.

10 Post-processing analysis and display of the calculations.
And carrying out post-processing on the calculation results in a cloud image, a vector image, a flow chart, a graph, a three-dimensional data simulation image and the like, wherein the post-processing comprises speed, agglomeration behavior and disturbance deformation of the slender flexible filament particles, axial or radial distribution in a simulation area and orientation distribution of the slender flexible filament particles in the fluidization process.
The post-processing of the calculation results in this embodiment is as shown in fig. 8, 9, 10:
As shown in FIG. 8, in the embodiment, under the working condition that the feeding rate of the elongated flexible filament particles is 0.07kg/s at 5m/s, the elongated flexible filament particles are fluidized and instantaneously move, and the elongated flexible filament particles are subjected to the action of a gas phase field and collide with each other and the wall surface, so that the stress among the flexible filament particles is uneven, and further, the relative movement between the elongated flexible particle chains can occur. Because of the constraint of the potential function added among the long and thin flexible filament particle chains constructed by the method, the long and thin flexible filament particle chains can exhibit rotation, translation and disturbance deformation, and the long and thin flexible filament particle chains are similar to real long and thin flexible filament particle movements. By means of the captured instant fluidization map, the flexible filamentous particles can be found to take on various motion states such as stretching, bending deformation, agglomeration and the like, and basically the motion of the flexible filamentous biomass particles is similar to that of the slender flexible filamentous biomass particles.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the present example, under the working condition that the feeding rate of the elongated flexible filamentous particles is 0.07kg/s at 5m/s, the elongated flexible filamentous particles are fluidized at different moments, the quantity of the particles in the fluidized bed is smaller and the overall distribution of the particles is more uniform in the initial fluidization stage, the particles in the fluidized bed are gradually increased along with the fluidization, the flexible filamentous particles are in a dense state in the bottom of the fluidized bed and other areas, the distribution of the particles is uneven, and the side wall has obvious particle agglomeration phenomenon. This is due to the fact that the particles in the central region are carried at a higher gas velocity and move upwards at a higher velocity, while the particles near the side wall accumulate in the side wall region under the viscous action of the side wall.
As shown in FIG. 10, in the present example, under the condition that the feeding rate of the elongated flexible filament particles is 5m/s and is 0.07kg/s, the simulated value of the orientation distribution of the elongated flexible filament particles is compared with the experimental value, the orientation distribution of the elongated particles during fluidization finally shows a stable distribution along with time, and the tobacco shreds are mainly in the axial direction, so that typical non-spherical flexible elongated particles can perform translational and rotational movement during fluidization, and the orientation is one of important characteristics of the tobacco shreds during fluidization. Verification of the orientation value can reflect the accuracy and feasibility of the constructed flexible filamentous particle model. The analysis of fig. 10 shows that although the measured value and the simulated value of the regionalization distribution of the elongated flexible filament particles are different, the two reflect the general trend of the distribution rule of the orientation, which indicates that the vertical state is dominant (the dominant range is 10-25 degrees) in the fluidization process of the elongated flexible filament particles, and the state is the stable state of the tobacco. In addition, the simulation value is completely consistent with the rule reflected by the actual measurement value, which shows that the constructed flexible filamentous particle model has greater accuracy and feasibility for simulating the motion characteristics of the cut tobacco in the fluidization process.
According to the method, the long and thin flexible filamentous particle model is constructed according to the characteristics that the particles of the long and thin flexible filamentous biomass are long and thin, the shape is dominant in the axial direction, the long and thin flexible filamentous biomass is soft, and easy to bend, deform and the like, the constructed flexible filamentous particle model can objectively and well reflect the appearance characteristics and the physical characteristics of the long and thin flexible filamentous biomass particles, and the problem that the long and thin flexible filamentous biomass is approximately simplified into spherical particles with single particle rules by a traditional numerical simulation method is solved.
