STOCHASTIC DISPERSION OF FIBERS IN TURBULENT FLOW USING EULERIAN-LAGRANGIAN METHOD

Understanding the motion of elongated particles is important in a wide range of areas, including inhalation toxicology, targeted drug delivery, paper industries and food processing. For example, during inhalation elongated fibers tend to align with mean flow and may penetrate to deep lung regions. The respiratory deposition of fibers are hazardous to human health and increase the occurrence of lung cancer. On the other hand, the alignment of fibers with mean flow indicates that for certain applications an improved drug delivery performance can be achieved using such fiber like carriers.

The dynamics of elongated fibers is complex because of the anisotropic shape effect, meaning that combined rotational and translation movement of the fibers must be considered. In this study dispersion and deposition of non-spherical rigid particles in various laminar and turbulent pipe and duct flows were investigated numerically. For numerical simulation the available CFD codes are limited to creeping flow and they are not able to handle non-creeping flows as well as employing accurate stochastic modeling for turbulence fluctuations. In order to extend numerical simulations to the more complex geometries, user defined subroutines are developed and coupled to the Fluent discrete phase model (DPM) module. These user defined subroutines are proposed to solve for coupled translation and rotational equations of motion for ellipsoidal fibers using the simulated flow field from Fluent package. Simulations are performed for dispersion and deposition of fibers in several test cases including laminar and turbulent channel flows as well as a model of human nasal cavity. For the particle equations of motion of laminar flows, new non-creeping flow (finite Rep) correlations were applied for the hydrodynamic forces and torques as well as creeping flow formulations. Satisfactory results were obtained for dispersion and deposition of non-spherical particles in various test cases. A new empirical model for estimating fiber deposition efficiency for finite particle Reynolds numbers, Rep<10 was developed. The simulation results were compared with earlier theoretical and numerical studies, as well as the new empirical equation, and good agreement was found. Particular attention was given to the effect of fiber size and aspect ratio on the dispersion and deposition of particles under various flow conditions for fully developed laminar pipe flow. For these simulations particle size is changed from 1μm to 20μm, aspect ratio from 2 to 50 and flow Reynolds number varied from 10 to 400. Using the results of numerical simulations, it is concluded that the new non-creeping flow formulation for hydrodynamic forces and torques are able to properly predict the dispersion and deposition of non-spherical particles in both creeping flow and non-creeping flow regimes. In addition, good agreement is observed between the predicted deposition velocity for turbulent pipe and duct flows with the reported experimental data in literature.

For the case of turbulent flows, the role of fluctuating velocity and velocity gradients are incorporated using proper stochastic modeling. For these analysis, flow Reynolds number is varied from 17000 to 87000 and the stochastic modeling is based on modified Langevin equations. Results for dispersion and deposition of particles for several turbulent flows, i.e. isotropic homogeneous turbulence, non-homogenous turbulence were presented and discussed. The simulation results were compared with earlier numerical and experimental studies for flow statistics and deposition velocity and good agreements were observed. It was shown that using appropriate stochastic models lead to satisfactory evaluation of dispersion and deposition of fibers in the turbulent flows. Results also highlighted the importance of proper turbulence fluctuations modeling in the deposition of fibers in turbulent flows. Good agreement is observed in the prediction of fiber deposition in the case of human nasal cavity in comparison with the previous experimental and numerical results for both laminar and turbulent flows.
