Descripción
In this work, the performance of discrete and continuum computational models for ad-dressing granular flow dynamics in a rotating drum at different regimes is studied. The results are compared to the experimental observations obtained by image processing of a high-speed camera on a pilot plant rotating drum. For the discrete modeling, Discrete Elements Method (DEM) through the open-source software LIGGGHTS(R) is used, while for the continuum model, the µ(I)-rheology is implemented in the general structure of a Volume-Of-Fluid (VOF) solver of the OpenFOAM(R) platform. Four test cases consisting of different sets of particles filling and rotational speed are considered and the results are analyzed in terms of solids distribution, the velocity of the particles, and mixing patterns. The solids distribution and velocities for each one of the tests considered are fairly similar between both computational techniques and the experimental observations. In general, DEM results show a higher level of agreement with the experiments, with minor differences that might be irrelevant in some cases (e.g., more splashing of particles for the fastest regimes). Among the drawbacks of the continuum model, it was unable to predict the slumping regime observed experimentally which can be attributed to the lack of a yield criterion and a slower dragging of the granular material when the drum is being accelerated, which can be attributed to the need of adding non-local effects to the rheology. On the other hand, the dynamic of the bed in the rolling and cascading regimes are accurately predicted by the continuum model in less time than DEM, even in a pilot plant scale system. These results suggest that the use of a continuum model with granular fluid rheology is more suited for simulating industrial-scale rotating drums at different regimes than DEM, but only if all the phenomenological features (i.e., yield criteria and non-local effects) are taken into account in the model.
