Zusammenfassung: | We present a two-fluid multiphase flow model that can be applied to the flow of polydisperse particle systems. In the model, the flow of polydisperse particle systems with different N particle sizes is considered only as two phases of fluid and particle phases, without considering the individual N phases, and the motion of particles with different diameters is represented by the motion characteristics of fluid and granular phases. The equations for the granular phase are obtained by averaging the Euler equations for the particles of different particle sizes. And the velocity of particles of different particle sizes is calculated by an explicit approximation, similar to determining the slip velocity in a mixed model of multiphase flow without solving the Eulerian momentum equation. Also, the conservation equation of particles of different particle sizes was obtained by adding the source term to the population balance equation, which is caused by the difference in the particle velocity of the particles with different particle sizes. The proposed method was compared with the results of experimental studies presented in the previous study to verify the validity of the method. The method has the advantage of not only visualizing the particle size fraction distribution but also of being stable in calculation and not increasing the computational effort significantly in studying the flow of polydisperse particle systems with particle size distribution.
