Introduction to DPM
• Calculation of the discrete phase trajectory using a

Lagrangian formulation that includes
• discrete phase inertia
• hydrodynamic drag
• force of gravity
• both steady and unsteady flows

present in the continuous phase

Introduction to DPM (contd.)
• Discrete phase α should be very small ( < 10%)

• Discrete Phase mass-fraction can be large
• The model is appropriate for the modeling of:
– spray dryers
– coal and liquid fuel combustion
• Inappropriate for:
– modeling of liquid-liquid mixtures
– fluidized beds
– any application where the volume fraction of the
second phase is not negligible
• See Fluent user guide for coupling of DPM &
other models e.g combustion, reactions etc.

– Eulerian formulation as a single phase fluid with
or without turbulence.
• Dispersed Phase:
– Individual particle motion is traced through
particle equation of motion.

Euler-Euler Approach
Eulerian (two-fluid) Model
Short Course on “Computational Fluid Dynamics for Industry” at Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences on September 9-10, 2013
Eulerian Model
• Overview
• The Eulerian multiphase model allows multiple
separate, yet interacting phases.
• The phases can be liquids, gases, or solids in nearly
any combination.
• An Eulerian treatment is used for each phase
• Any number of secondary phases can be modeled
(memory is the limit).
• For complex multiphase flows, however, you may find
that your solution is limited by convergence behavior

7/18/2014 9:02 AM
Multiphase Flow
Eulerian Model contd.
• A single pressure is shared by all phases.

• Momentum and continuity equations are solved for
each phase.
• Several interphase drag coefficient functions are
available, which are appropriate for various types of
multiphase regimes. (You can also modify the
interphase drag coefficient through user-defined
functions, as described in the separate UDF Manual.)
• All of the k-e turbulence models are available, and
may apply to all phases or to the mixture

7/18/2014 9:02 AM
Multiphase Flow
Conservation Equations
Conservation of Mass for Phase q

• A separate mass balance equation is solved for every
phase q
• q is the volume fraction of qth phase

Eulerian Model
Limitations
• Particle tracking (using the Lagrangian
dispersed phase model) interacts only with
the primary phase.
• Inviscid flow is not allowed.
• Melting and solidification are not allowed.
• Sharp Interfaces cannot be captured

7/18/2014 9:02 AM

Euler- Euler Approach
Euler-Granular Phase Model
• For dense particulate flows, the DPM cannot
be used due to significant volume fraction of
solid phase

fluid using Kinetic Theory of Gases
• This Granular fluid has special correlations
for
– Granular Pressure
– Granular Viscosity
– Granular Temperature

• Solves one set of momentum equations for

the mass averaged velocity and tracks
volume fraction of each fluid throughout
domain.
• Assumes an empirically derived relation for
the relative velocity of the phases.
• For turbulent flows, single set of turbulence
transport equations solved.
• This approach works well for flow fields
where both phases generally flow in the
same direction.
