Abstract
Dynamic behaviors of suspended sediment-fluid system play an important role in the transport of bedload and the evolution of riverbed, but the related mathematical models are deficient or limited. In this paper, two models, micropolar fluid model and fluid-particle coupling model, are adopted in the dynamic behaviors calculation of the suspended sediment-fluid system in lid-driven cavity. We first establish the discrete solution program for micropolar fluid governing equations, and analyze the dynamic behaviors of suspended sediment-fluid system under different microstructure parameters. Meanwhile, the dynamic behaviors calculations are carried out by CFD-DEM (Computational Fluid Dynamics-Discrete Element Method) numerical method, and the influences of suspended sediment diameter and concentration are investigated. The results show that micropolar fluid model and fluid-particle coupling model can effectively describe the dynamic behaviors of suspended sediment-fluid system. The influences of microstructure parameters and macro-properties of suspended sediment at given range are almost same, suggesting the definite relationships existed between micro- and macro- quantities. Based on the equivalent effects of microstructure parameters to macro-properties of suspended sediment, micropolar fluid model is expected to replace CFD-DEM method completely in the study of the large-scale dynamic behaviors of suspended sediment-fluid system.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Water Resources provides a forum for the presentation of fundamental scientific advances in the understanding of water resources systems. The scope of Advances in Water Resources includes any combination of theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches used to advance fundamental understanding of surface or subsurface water resources systems or the interaction of these systems with the atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and human societies. Manuscripts involving case studies that do not attempt to reach broader conclusions, research on engineering design, applied hydraulics, or water quality and treatment, as well as applications of existing knowledge that do not advance fundamental understanding of hydrological processes, are not appropriate for Advances in Water Resources.
Examples of appropriate topical areas that will be considered include the following:
• Surface and subsurface hydrology
• Hydrometeorology
• Environmental fluid dynamics
• Ecohydrology and ecohydrodynamics
• Multiphase transport phenomena in porous media
• Fluid flow and species transport and reaction processes
